After a convincing victory in the 2023 assembly election in Rajasthan, the state BJP has started preparation for the Lok Sabha election. The party has decided to focus on Nari Shakti Vandan and the village. outreach programme.

This was decided in the party core committee meeting held in Jaipur on Sunday.

Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari claimed that the BJP will win all the 25 seats in the state in the forthcoming Lok Sabha election and will get more seats across the country than last time.

“The BJP is a grassroots party. Our workers and leaders always remain among the public. Now, the party has started the Gaon Chalo campaign, under which all the leaders, including the CM, will spend a day in a village,” Diya Kumari told the media.

Former CM Vasundhara Raje who had skipped the party meetings and events held after the assembly election, was also present in the core committee meeting chaired by party president CP Joshi along with CM Bhajan Lal Sharma and in charge Arun Singh.

According to sources, the party has decided to reach out to the old leaders and party workers who are now away from the field. They would be given responsibilities in the election.

Party national secretary Alka Gurjar said after the formation of the government in the state, this was the first meeting of the core committee in which the leaders discussed BJP's campaigns and preparation for Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha elections.
