Jaipur: Two MLAs of National Unionist Zamindara Party on Thursday joined a training camp organised by BJP for the election to four Rajya Sabha seats from Rajasthan.
BJP’s pressure tactics worked as two Zamindara Party MLAs joined its camp. Kamini Jindal, along with fellow legislator Sona Devi Bawari arrived at a Jaipur hotel where the ruling party has camped its legislators till voting.
Kamini is daughter of businessman B.D. Agarwal, founding president of the party. Three days ago the police had opened up an old case against Mr. Agarwal who is CMD of Vikas WSP, which is one of the the largest producer of gwar gum in the world.
Raids were conducted on his house, office and factory to arrest him. Kamini Jindal’s husband is also an IPS officer currently posted in Jaipur.
With Zamindara Party’s support BJP is now fully assured of winning all four seats, leaving no scope for Congress supported independent candidate industrialist Kamal Morarka. The BJP now has support of 166 MLAs including 160 of its own, four independent and two from Zamindara Party.
