JAIPUR/NEW DELHI: BJP, which has surprised with its choices for CMs of Chhattisgarh and MP, came out with another stunner on Tuesday when it chose first-term MLA Bhajan Lal Sharma to head its government in Jaipur, slamming the door on the ambitions of ex-CM Vasundhara Raje and other contenders.
The party nominated Diya Kumari (Rajput) and Prem Chand Bairwa (Dalit) for posts of deputy CMs, while selecting Vasudev Devnani, a Sindhi, to be the new speaker.Sharma, who will be thefirst Brahmin CM of Rajasthan since Hari Dev Joshi quit the post in 1990, later called on governor Kalraj Mishra to stake claim to form the government.
In terms of unexpectedness, if Vishnu Deo Sai and Mohan Yadav, the party’s CM picks for Chhattisgarh and MP, were called dark horses, Sharma qualifies to be a dark stallion. The 56-year-old former ABVP functionary was seated in the fourth row at the meeting of MLAs.
