First-time MLA Bhajanlal Sharma has been named by the Bharatiya Janata Party as the chief minister of Rajasthan. By electing Bhajanlal Sharma, a worker-level person as the chief minister, the BJP has sent a significant message in Rajasthan.

The BJP's Rajasthan victory had kept the political circles buzzing, with anticipation mounting over who would lead the state. The suspense culminated as Bhajan Lal Sharma emerged as the chosen figure to helm the desert state's affairs.

Bhajanlal Sharma is the next Chief Minister of Rajasthan, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced on Tuesday. Three BJP observers, led by defence minister Rajnath Singh arrived in Jaipur to oversee the legislature party meeting, where the chief minister-elect was picked.

The BJP is reportedly contemplating a formula for Rajasthan, considering a chief minister with two deputies to achieve a balance among political and social factions, including Rajput, Brahmin, Meena, and Jat communities. The strategy also involves appointing a scheduled caste (Dalit) woman MLA as the speaker.

The BJP secured a resounding victory in the assembly elections held on December 3, winning 163 out of 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh, 115 out of 199 seats in Rajasthan, and 54 out of 90 seats in Chhattisgarh.
