Rajasthan leader Kirron Shekawat warns of anti‑BJP vote over UGC rollback

Jaipur, Rajasthan – Senior BJP figure Kirron Shekawat expressed growing frustration among party workers over the central government's decision to roll back the University Grants Commission (UGC) reforms. She warned that if the party does not heed the demand for reinstating the UGC provisions, she could consider casting a vote against the BJP in upcoming elections.
Shekawat's remarks reflect broader discontent within the state, where several community groups, including the Swarn Samaj, have also complained of being overlooked in the party's ticket allocation process. The leader highlighted that long‑time activists feel sidelined despite years of service.
The BJP has not yet issued a formal response to the statements, and the issue is expected to influence internal party dynamics ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Local political analysts say the episode underscores the challenges the party faces in balancing policy positions with grassroots expectations in Rajasthan.
The situation remains fluid as party leadership assesses the impact of the UGC rollback on its support base.
