Former chief minister Vasundhara Raje, who had been asked by BJP High command to step down as Leader of Opposition, will meet L K Advani in New Delhi on Saturday and in all probability hand over her resignation. There are still possibility that Raje is also likely to accept the post of general secretary at the national level, which the party high command has been offering her in return of the Leader of Opposition post for almost two months now. According to sources in the party, Raje is also likely to meet party president Rajnath Singh and take up the matter of suspension of the two MLAs with the high command.
However Gulabchand Kataria the former home minister may be her replacement. Raje loyalists are now hoping that she makes an impressive return to state politics before the next assembly elections four years down the line, much like what chief minister Ashok Gehlot did. After Congress lost in the December 2003 assembly elections, Gehlot, who was the chief minister then, moved to Delhi and was in the state mostly to attend assembly sessions. However, just before the 2008 assembly elections, Gehlot was back in the picture.
