After the recent RCA polls, the BJP placed the nomination of Parakram Rathod, son of senior leader Rajendra Rathod, on hold for the Churu district council seat, sparking speculation about his candidacy.
The Rajasthan Panchayat elections are set to begin shortly, and political parties are finalising their candidates for key local bodies. In the Churu district, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been navigating internal selections for the district council (Zila Parishad) seats.
Parakram Rathod, the son of veteran BJP leader Rajendra Rathod, submitted his nomination to contest the district council seat from Churu. However, the party’s state leadership subsequently placed his ticket on hold, leaving his candidature uncertain.
Rajendra Rathod responded to the development, indicating that the decision reflects internal deliberations within the party rather than a definitive rejection. He hinted that the matter would be clarified in due course, emphasizing the need for party cohesion ahead of the elections.
Analysts note that the hold on Parakram’s ticket could influence the BJP’s prospects in the Churu panchayat contests, where local dynamics and family influence often play a decisive role.
