Jaipur, Sep 3
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje met Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat in Jodhpur on Wednesday.
The meeting took place at the Adarsh Defence and Sports Academy in Lal Sagar, where Bhagwat is staying. The conversation between the two, which lasted for about 20 minutes, has triggered political speculation in Rajasthan.
Although the details of the meeting were not made public, it is believed that discussions were held on possible changes in the BJP organisation in Rajasthan and on the party's leadership at the national level.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived in Jodhpur on September 1 and will remain here till September 10. He is scheduled to attend the All India Coordination Meeting of the RSS from September 5 to 7.
Top leaders of 32 Sangh Parivar organisations and BJP national president J.P. Nadda will also be present. Preparations for the meeting are in full swing.
On Tuesday, several senior RSS officials, including General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, Joint General Secretary Krishna Gopal, C.R. Mukunda, Arun Kumar, Ramdutt Chakradhar, Alok Kumar, Atul Limaye and Executive Member Manmohan Vaidya, reached Jodhpur.
Vasundhara Raje had arrived in Jodhpur on Monday to pay tribute to Colonel Sona Ram.
Her subsequent meeting with Mohan Bhagwat has intensified political buzz in the state.
Raje recently met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi, a development being seen with raised eyebrows about her role in the party.
In addition, while attending a religious program in Dholpur, Raje had remarked that exile comes in everyone's life at some point, but it is equally true that when exile comes, it eventually ends too.

Why so much secrecy around these meetings? If it's about party organization and leadership, shouldn't there be more transparency? Common people like us are left guessing while these political games continue 🤔
Vasundhara ji is a strong leader who has done good work for Rajasthan. Her experience is valuable for BJP. Hope this meeting brings positive changes for our state's development. Rajasthan needs stable leadership!
The timing is everything! With RSS coordination meeting happening and top BJP leaders gathering, this is clearly about 2024 preparations. Rajasthan is crucial for BJP and they need to get their strategy right.
Her comment about "exile eventually ending" makes so much sense now! She's clearly signaling her comeback. Smart political messaging 👠Hope she focuses on women's issues and development if she returns to leadership.
While political meetings are normal, I hope the focus remains on governance and development rather than just power dynamics. Rajasthan has many challenges that need addressing - water scarcity, education, healthcare. That should be the priority.
