BJP Fields Ghanshyam Tiwari in Jaipur for Lok Sabha Elections
BJP on Friday nominated Ghanshyanm Tiwari as its candidate from the prestigious Jaipur Seat. This seems to be an apparent bow to RSS pressure, from where both the leading parties have now fielded Brahmins.
The Party had to re- announce its candidate from Jaipur as sitting MP Girdharailal Bhargava, who was on the BJP’s first list, passed away recently.
The candidature of Ghanshyam Tiwari from Jaipur is seen as an outcome of the pressure mounted by the RSS functionalities as former chief minister Raje was reportedly keen on picking former state president Mahesh Chand Sharma.
The party high command however, fielded Tiwari, who comes from RSS back ground. At present an MLA from Sanganer assembly seat, Tiwari was food and civil supplies minister in the Raje Government.
Congress has earlier declared that former MLA Mahesh Joshi as its candidate.
Others Nominated Candidates for BJP Party
The BJP Party also announced candidate for five more seats including Kiran Maheshwari against Congress’s Sachin Pilot from Ajmer.
Kiran’s candidature also reflects that party had difficulty in finding a suitable candidate against Sachin Pilot who have major chunk of Gujjar votebank was attached to the constituency after delimitation.
Khemchand Koli, Subhash Maharia and Mahavir Bhagora are the other party candidates announced on Friday.
