Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje on Tuesday celebrated her 69th birthday with a show of strength ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, this demonstration of power was done in Keshoraipatan, a small town in Bundi. During this, Raje gave an election slogan and also beat for the upcoming assembly elections. During his address, he said between former and present MLAs, ‘Ab hamari pari – 2023 ki turn’.
Raje’s supporters and social media team created panic on Twitter by trending #PurvaMukhyamantri and #Rajasthan at the national level. During his address, Raje reminded him of becoming an MP for the first time in 1989 from Jhalawar of Kota division. With this, he said, ‘Our politics is not for two days. We have dedicated our whole life to win the hearts of the people. In politics, you have to work with your heart, not just with your mind, only then you build strong and loving relationships. This talk of Vasundhara is also being seen as a message for the opponents. Raje said with thunderous applause, ‘I stood like a solid rock against all kinds of troubles.’
MLAs arrived to congratulate after leaving the assembly session
On one hand, while the assembly session was going on in the capital, on the other hand many MLAs personally reached Bundi to wish Raje. Vasundhara reached Lord Keshavaraya temple at 10.30 am. Here a large number of women encouraged him and wished him long life. There were also a large number of people who could not be a part of this show of strength, as all the entrances to the city were blocked.
Gehlot worried about votes: Raje
During this, Raje claimed that in 2023, all previous records of the party’s victory will be broken. “Historic victory of 120 seats (out of 200 seats) in 2003 and then a historic victory of 163 seats in 2013. Now a new record will be set in 2023. Explaining the difference between his and CM Ashok Gehlot’s rule, he said, ‘Gehlot ji is more concerned about votes while I am concerned about the public’s well being. They wake up during elections, whereas we keep awake all the time.
