The BJP in Rajasthan is facing obstacles ahead of the upcoming elections due to intra-party challenges, defections, inadequate development, anger over Agnipath, and farmer protests. Local factors are making it challenging for the saffron party in nine seats, including Churu, Nagaur, Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Dausa, Kota, Jodhpur, Barmer, and Banswara.
Although there are other Lok Sabha seats such as Nagaur, Sikar and Bharatpur where the Jats wield considerable influence, Churu has become the ground zero for Jat dissatisfaction.
