Vasundhara Raje in BJP Rajasthan list along with her loyalists

Former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje, her close associate Narpat Singh Rajvi, and Jyoti Mirdha, daughter of Jat leader Nathuram Mirdha, figure among the 83 candidates BJP announced for the November 25 state polls on Saturday. The party is yet to name its candidates against CM Ashok Gehlot and his chief detractor Sachin Pilot at Sardarpura and Tonk respectively, keeping alive the suspense over whom it might field. It acceded to leader of opposition Rajendra Singh Rathore’s request to shift him from Churu to Taranagar.
