New Delhi: Vasundhara Raje, who failed five years ago on account of infighting in BJP, reinvented herself and galvanised the cadre to spearhead her party's spectacular comeback to power in Rajasthan.


Born in the royal family of his highness Jivaji Rao Scindia, Vasundhara learned social and political issues from her mother Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia, ever since she was a teenager.  

Belonging to the royal Scindia family of Gwalior and married in Rajasthan, had even once threatened to quit the party.  

But then she managed to get the BJP high command fully behind her in her bid to oust the Congress government headed by Ashok Gehlot.   

The icing on the cake for her was the full-throated backing from Narendra Modi who extensively toured Rajasthan during the election campaign.
