Days after BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri hurled communal slurs at BSP MP Danish Ali in Lok Sabha, the party has appointed him as its poll in-charge for Tonk district of Rajasthan. Bidhuri's responsibility will be akin to the BJP's poll in-charge of the district, party sources said.

 With the Gurjar community present in large numbers in the district, which has four assembly seats including the one held by senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot, the BJP believes Bidhuri can help it swing the votes as he is also from the same caste.  Bidhuri also posted on X that he attended a coordination meeting for the Tonk district held in Jaipur. State BJP president C P Joshi chaired the meeting.
