Perspective
Rajendra Rathore has been a prominent face of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Rajasthan, for past 3 decades. He has emerged from numerous crises and has a strong grip on Rajput voters in the state; he enjoys huge popularity in Churu, Rajasthan. For over a decade and a half, Rathore along with the late Dr. Digamber Singh dominated the party in the state, while batting for Vasundhara Raje’s leadership in the state. After, Digamber Singh’s death in 2017, Rathore distanced himself from Raje. And post the 2018 Rajasthan election has appeared as a viable party leader for the state - heading into the 2023 assembly elections.
