 "Raje urge BJP partymen to make Sona Ram win in Barmer")
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje today exhorted the party workers to remain united and together for the victory of BJP candidate Sona Ram in Barmer.
Raje, without naming BJP rebel Jaswant, who has decided to contest Lok Sabha elections from Barmer as Independent candidate following denial of ticket, said the decision of party leadership was applicable to all.
There could be differences in opinion, but not rift in minds, she said while addressing a mass rally here in support of Sona Ram.
"This experiment delivered positive results in Assembly elections last year when the party won 163 out of 200 Assembly constituencies. When party workers and people come together, none can stand," Raje said, while calling upon the partymen to make all efforts for the victory of the party candidates.
Raje said that former vice president late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat took her to Jhalawar (her constituency) and asked her to not go away from there ever.
"It was Bhairo Singh ji who took me to Jhalawar. I worked for my party and people who are like my family. In the last 25 years in Jhalawar, I served them, remained with them and stood by them in good and bad occasions. Now the entire Rajasthan is my family. Similarly, Sona Ram also struggled for his people in the desert and served you," she said.
"We all are a family. Sometime we are happy and sometime unhappy but the family is family and we can not desert it. There could be difference in opinion but not rift in minds," she said.
In Assembly elections, Raje said, Manvendra Singh was given ticket from Sheo but the person who was denied a ticket because of Mandvendra's selection worked for the party without any issue.
She also named a few others who despite being denied a ticket in Assembly elections worked for the party in elections and said that everyone in the party should work in such a manner in the interest of the party.
"Rajnath Singh ji took the decision which is applicable for all of us. The party leadership decided to make Narendra Modi prime minister and all the party workers have to work to make Modi Prime minister and for that, you will have to make Col Sonaram win," she said.
The party candidate and former Congress MLA Sona Ram, who last week joined BJP, said that the UPA government led by Congress committed only scams in the last ten years and did not provide relief to people.
"Our soldiers were beheaded by enemy but the government did nothing," he said. Local party leaders were also present in the meeting which was not attended by Manvendra Singh, the party MLA and Jaswant Singh's son.
