Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has denied rumors that he is in the running for the chief minister’s post in the upcoming Rajasthan Assembly polls. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not projected any leader as its CM candidate in the Congress-run state, but Shekhawat and former chief minister Vasundhara Raje are being seen as possible contenders if the party wins. Shekhawat stated that he only does the work assigned to him by the party and has no aspirations for any other role. The BJP has nominated seven MPs for the assembly elections and is expected to surpass its 2013 record of 163 seats in the Rajasthan House.
