Is Vasundhara Raje an asset or liability for BJP?

Far from the expected debacle, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has managed a last-lap surge days before Rajasthan goes to polls, India Today's Political Stock Exchange (PSE) finds. As many as 45 per cent of respondents want change in the government whereas a close 44 per cent support the present dispensation led by Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, the survey shows.

Last month, the PSE had found that 43 per cent of the respondents asked for change in the government while 39 per cent backed it. This shows that there is improvement in numbers for retaining the government.
