Rajasthan: Congress and BJP Join Hands to Scuttle the Rise of Bharatiya Tribal Party -Shruti Jain

-TheWire.in

In a recent election to the post of the zila pramukh, the Congress thwarted the election of the BTP candidate and instead extended support to the BJP candidate.

Jaipur: The recent Panchayat and Zila Parishad polls in Rajasthan have laid bare the desperation with which the Congress and the BJP have tried to thwart tribal movement in the state.

The two national rival parties have extended support to each other to ensure that the Bharatiya Tribal Party’s (BTP) candidate is not elected as the zila pramukh (chairperson for this Zila Parishad) in Rajasthan’s tribal belt of Dungarpur.

In the elections to the 27-seat Dungarpur Zila Parishad held earlier this month, the BTP candidate Parwati Doda secured 13 votes, while the Congress and the BJP obtained six and eight votes respectively. Doda was short of just one vote from the halfway mark (14 in this case) needed to be elected as the zila pramukh.

The zila pramukh is chosen amongst the elected members of the Zila Parishad. Each elected member has to nominate a name and the candidate who secures the largest number of nominations becomes the zila pramukh.
