BJP faces internal rift in Jaipur division ahead of Rajasthan local body polls

The Rajasthan local body elections are set to be contested after party tickets are allotted, a process that often triggers intense intra‑party negotiations. In the Jaipur division, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appears to be grappling with growing dissent as the schedule for ticket distribution approaches.

According to sources, a sitting BJP MLA publicly endorsed roughly sixteen aspirants before a scheduled party meeting, effectively signalling his preference for those candidates. The move was taken as a breach of the usual consensus‑building routine and sparked immediate unease among other party functionaries.

In response, several senior BJP leaders travelled to the state party headquarters to register formal complaints, alleging that the MLA’s premature endorsement could disrupt the ticket‑allocation process. Party officials have not yet issued an official statement, but the incident underscores the challenges the BJP faces in maintaining unity ahead of the upcoming polls.
