A first-time MLA from the Sanganer constituency, Bhajan Lal Sharma, was earlier sworn in as the Chief Minister at a glittering event in the State capital, Jaipur.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda were among the dignitaries attending the oath-taking ceremony.
Hailing from Bharatpur in Rajasthan’s Eastern district, Bhajan Lal Sharma is considered to be close to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological fountainhead of the BJP.
The young leader holds a master’s degree in political science. He won the Sanganer assembly seat by an impressive margin, securing 145,162 votes against 97,081 votes by his Congress rival, Pushpendra Bhardwaj.
