The split between former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s followers and the current state leadership, which was earlier limited to poster war, has now spilled out with open verbal clashes, where her followers have declared “Raje is BJP and BJP is Raje” in Rajasthan. The state leadership has refused to stay silent on the remark and said that “no one is bigger than the party”.

In the last few days, Raje’s followers have become active in the state after her posters were removed from the state party headquarters. Many of them have spoken out unanimously saying that Raje is the only leader of the saffron party in the state.
