July 4: In a bid to get the support of the Rajput community, Rajasthan chief
minister Vasundhara Raje on Friday inducted prominent Rajput leader Devi Singh
Bhati as a Cabinet minister. Governor S.K. Singh administered the oath of office
to Mr Bhati at Raj Bhavan on Friday. The chief minister also appointed Bharatpur
MP Vishvendra Singh as her political adviser, a Cabinet-rank post.
Party sources said that Mr Bhati has influence in Bikaner region while Mr
Vishvendra Singh will help the party mobilise votes in eastern Rajasthan. Mr
Bhati and Mr Singh have known to be detractors of Ms Raje in the past. The
induction of Mr Bhati comes with the Rajasthan Jat Mahasabha deciding to back
the Congress in the Assembly elections.
