Rajasthan's New CM Focuses on Women's Safety and BJP Poll Promises While Facing Early Tests

Bhajan Lal Sharma took oath as Rajasthan's new CM a month ago, replacing Ashok Gehlot. As a first-time MLA and CM, he has kept a low profile so far.
-
Sharma has focused on women's safety, eradicating corruption, law and order, and preventing exam paper leaks - aligned to BJP's poll promises.
-
He has been actively engaging with people during his tours and public hearings. He also made surprise visits to SMS Hospital and shelters for the poor.
-
The BJP government has fulfilled promises like cheaper LPG cylinders, set up an SIT for preventing paper leaks, and an Anti-Gangster Task Force.

The BJP lost the Karanpur bypoll to Congress amidst a sympathy wave for the deceased MLA. Sharma's leadership has also been marked by former CM Vasundhara Raje keeping her distance.
