The mainstream media had tried to paint a dull image of Bharatiya Janata Party’s prospects in the upcoming state assembly elections for Rajasthan. BJP led by CM Vasundhara Raje is in power in the state and has taken countless measures to ensure prosperity of the people. Disregarding this the media had tried to show the graph of falling popularity of the Rajasthan CM and the party to fulfill their agenda. Media had made a mountain out of a mole hill following BJP’s loss in the by-poll elections in Rajasthan and had taken it as a measure to predict the future of the party in the state. The stakes are indeed high for the BJP in Rajasthan which might undergo elections in November or December later this year. CM Raje and the central leadership realise the need to sweep Rajasthan again taking into consideration the massive victory they had achieved in the previous elections. Vasundhara Raje had announced massive relief and loan waivers to convince the people of BJPs promise of solidarity and help. Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has joined forces with Rajasthan CM to ensure victory in the state.
PM Modi is in Rajasthan today where he is going to lay the foundation stone for 13 urban infrastructure projects and will thereafter address a public meeting. PM Modi will talk about the Abhinav Yojana Mukhya Mantri Jal Sawavlamban Abhiyan launched by the CM Raje government which will oversee the construction of 3,50,000 water conservation resources in three phases. PM Modi along with CM Raje will also meet beneficiaries of welfare schemes launched by the centre and state governments in the public meeting which will be held in Jaipur. About 2.5 lakh beneficiaries of 12 schemes run by the BJP are expected to arrive at PM Modi’s public meeting. These efforts made by the Central and state leadership are likely to have a huge impact on the upcoming elections. The results of not only the state but also the Lok Sabha 2019 elections will have an impact due to these rallies which will boost the morale of BJP workers and that of the common public as well.
With public meetings, rallies and gentle reminders of the work BJP has done to uplift the people of the state, it looks like the party might be able to pull off the elections twice in a row. The strong think tank at the centre will plan more such events which will further add surety to the prospects of the party in the state. BJP is still going strong in the state according to the top political analysts of the country while this might be different from what the mainstream media tries to portray. BJP could ensure its win in Rajasthan owing to a weak Congress think tank, large steps taken towards development and welfare in the last leg of the state government rule. A strong campaign might just do the trick for the party in the days to come and the mainstream media and the opposition might have to sulk again post the elections.
Saying this with utmost caution: BJP is slowly but surely taking runaway lead in Rajasthan and today's hugely successful @narendramodi rally in Jaipur may cement the party deep into the grassroots

Contrary to all the buzz in media & SM, surprisingly BJP still has a solid fighting chance in Rajasthan provided the cadre morale is boosted systematically. PM @narendramodi is still immensely popular and commands huge moral authority among Rajasthan voters
