Why no one is talking about Vasundhara Raje? She is one of the most important player in Rajasthan Politics and the biggest internal rival of Modi-Shah duo.

2008 Rajasthan assembly election
That was a time when tussle was going on between Vasundhara Raje and party organisation. Vasundhara took the charge of distribution of the tickets. organisation interfered and demanded 100 seats, Vasundhara refused,
organisation took one step back and reduced its demand to 50 seats. Vasundhara again refused. Finally deal was sealed on 38 seats.

Election happened results were out. Congress won 96 seats where BJP won 78 and lost the state. Then BJP president demanded resignation of Raje.
Raje aggressively refused and put the numbers on the table saying organisation lost 28 seats out of 38. Responsibility is not mine, but Organisation's. When Raje was pressurized for several months for her resignation, she rushed to the BJP's national head office with 58MLAs
including her saying if you remove me, I will leave party with all these 58 MLAs. Raje showed her power before High Command. Rajnath took a step back.

After several months, whole National Leadership of BJ stood against Raje and demanded her resignation. Raje put on condition.
Raje said I will step down as leader of opposition but no BJP leader will be appointed at her position. It means despite having numbers, BJP will not install leader of opposition till next elections i.e. for 3 and half years. This is Vasundhara Raje. 😁😁
When Modi reached to Delhi in 2014, he asked for one MP from Rajasthan for his Cabinet, Vasundhara sent her son Dushayant's name, Modi refused saying no sons & daughters are allowed, send another name. Vasundhara said there is no one then.
Times reached to 2018, Amit Shah wanted to install his person as Party President in Rajasthan, Vasundhara again refused. Again reached Delhi Head Office saying if you appoint president against my will, I will leave the party with 113MLAs and 113 MLAs are enough to form government
Amit Shah refused to meet Raje and her MLAs. Because he knew what happened to Rajnath Singh 10 years back.😄😄

Vasundhara Raje doesn't want any competitior to her son in state politics and that's why she didn't let anyone to rise in the state within the BJP.
And then come she will allow Sachin Pilot's entry in BJP? She will confront aggressively. Rather she is. Amit Shah wants to topple Raje and put his man in Rajasthan to gain power.
Power is shifting between Raje & Gehlot since 2 decades, they both carry good personal relations. If... if Pilot joins hands with Amit Shah, then- Pilot will try to topple Gehlot with the help of Amit Shah and Amit Shah will try to topple Raje with the help of Pilot.
In such case it is a possible that Gehlot & Raje will help each other to save their hold to keep their enemies away from state. Afterall both Gehlot & Raje want to pass the batons to their sons, Vaibhav Gehlot &Dushayant Raje. And Sachin Pilot is threat to both.
