Rajput And Thakur In Some States Are Not Happy With BJP?

BJP is trying hard to win back the support of the Rajputs and Thakurs in the states source says. Some remarks of the senior BJP leader of Gujrat irked the sentiments, and since then, they are trying to extend support to other parties, an electoral loss to BJP source says. The CM of UP is also Rajput, and as rumoured, the fight to reach the top is also affecting the rapprochement source says. The Dhananjay Singh, a political don, now debarred to contest as per court order, has been prevailed upon to extend support to Kripa Shankar Singh, ex-Maharashtra state minister from Jaunpur, and the BSP has managed to change its candidate from Jaunpur source says. The wife of Dhananjay Singh was contesting on BSP ticket source says. This is all to see on Rajput to make road in the parliament source says. The charge-sheeted ex-WFI president was also convinced to accept his son as a candidate from Gonda in his place source says. This nomination of the son for the seat will affect the voting pattern in favour of the BJP, for which one very senior leader is working, a source says. This all happened to develop a parallel Rajput leadership to undermine the leadership of Yogi, a source says. The CM of UP is the most sought-after star campaigner, but he is restricting himself to UP and very few rallies or meetings addressed outside, probably keeping in mind to strengthen his position in the state and to nullify the rumours taking rounds of change of face on top source says.
