In the lead‑up to the district council elections, the BJP has placed a hold on the nomination of Parakram Rathore, son of former minister Rajendra Rathore, despite his filing from Churu.
The Rajasthan Panchayat elections are set to begin next month, and the Bharatiya Janata Party has taken a decisive step regarding the candidature of Parakram Rathore, the son of former minister Rajendra Rathore.
Parakram filed his nomination papers for the Churu district council seat, signalling his intention to contest. However, the BJP leadership has placed the ticket on hold, effectively preventing him from standing under the party’s banner.
Party officials cited internal deliberations as the reason for the hold, but no detailed explanation has been released. The decision has sparked speculation about the party’s strategy in the region.
Rajendra Rathore, who has been a prominent figure in Rajasthan politics, has not yet commented publicly on the move, but insiders suggest he may be disappointed by the party’s stance.
The hold on Parakram’s ticket could influence the BJP’s prospects in Churu, where the Rathore family has traditionally enjoyed strong support. Observers are watching closely to see whether the party will eventually release the nomination or field a different candidate.
