Vasundhara Raje:
Vasundhara Raje, a two-time chief minister and a prominent face of the BJP in Rajasthan for over 20 years, is likely among the leading contenders. She’s not just the first woman to hold Rajasthan’s top position but has also served as a five-time Parliament member. Known for her administrative skills, she has had clashes with the top leadership but remains a significant figure.
Here’s my list of Chief Ministers:
A/. Kamal Nath : MP
B/. Vasundhara Scindia: Rajasthan
C/. Bhupesh Bhagel: Chhattisgarh
D/. KCR: TelenganaI haven’t mentioned the parties because you never know😉

– Arjun Ram Meghwal:
A former bureaucrat and three-time parliamentarian, Meghwal, backed by Modi, stands as a potential Dalit face for the chief minister’s role.

A surprise contender, Balaknath, with strong ties to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, could emerge as a significant player, given his influence in eastern Rajasthan.
