In a significant political development, Yunus Khan, a prominent figure in Rajasthan politics and a close confidante of former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, has decided to part ways with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His decision comes in response to the party's refusal to grant him a ticket for the upcoming state assembly election in Rajasthan, according to media reports. 

Yunus Khan, a two-time MLA from Didwana, where he has a substantial political presence, has chosen to contest the forthcoming assembly election as an independent candidate. This move signifies a noteworthy shift in his political journey and sets the stage for an interesting contest in the Didwana constituency.

The BJP's decision to drop Yunus Khan's name from its third candidate list, replacing him with Jitendra Singh Jodha for Didwana, underscores the evolving dynamics within the party and the state's political landscape.
