Reasons due to which BJP is not declaring the chief ministerial face?
In the hindi heartland of madhya pradesh, rajasthan and chhattisgarh, bjp will not declare the chief
ministerial data-face before the elections. This is the first time in two decades that bjp is contesting the elections in
these states without a cm data-face. bjp is currently out of power in 2 out of three states.
For the last two decades, shivraj singh chouhan in madhya pradesh and vasundhara raje in rajasthan have
been the undisputed data-faces of BJP. After 2003, the reins of bjp in chhattisgarh have been with Raman Singh,
but for the first time here too the party has kept the field open for the leadership ship. The candidate list of
madhya pradesh has further strengthened the intention of collective leadership of BJP. The party has made
three big contenders for the post of cm, narendra Tomar, Kailash Vijayvargiya and Prahlad Patel, candidates in
the assembly elections, while the ticket of current chief minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan has not been
announced yet.
Similar formulas are said to be implemented in rajasthan and chhattisgarh also. Here too there is speculation
that big contenders for the post of cm will contest the elections. Apart from vasundhara raje, arjun Ram
Meghwal, gajendra singh shekhawat and Om Mathur are big contenders for the post of cm in Rajasthan.
Similarly, in chhattisgarh, along with Raman Singh, Saroj Pandey, Arun Sao and Ramvichar Netam are the
main contenders. Why is bjp, which has been doing politics in the name of data-face since its inception, not
declaring cm data-face in these three states? This is being discussed the most.
