After sparking a controversy by his communally abusive remarks in the Lok Sabha, BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri has raked up the issue of the Rajasthan government’s alleged appeasement policy in Tonk district, where he has been appointed the party’s election in-charge. Of the four Assembly seats in Tonk, the BJP at present occupies only one.
Mr. Bidhuri has visited Tonk district thrice since his appointment in the end of September to look after the preparations for the November 25 Assembly elections. The BJP has fielded Gujjar leader Vijay Bainsla from Deoli-Uniara constituency in its first list of candidates, while the ruling Congress is yet to announce the names of its candidates for the State.
The BJP MP from South Delhi has addressed a series of meetings of the party workers, including a workshop of the election management committee, where he handed over different responsibilities to the office-bearers. He was accompanied by Tonk-Sawai Madhopur MP Sukhbir Singh Jaunpuria in his introductory visits to several blocks in the district.
