This is the very first time that both top leaders were present together since the elections were announced by the EC. Notably, Raje is considered among the leaders in the race for the chief minister's post if the BJP wins the Assembly elections in the poll-bound state.

Addressing a rally in Baran district’s Anta, Raje also praised the prime minister, saying that the “people of the country are early waiting for him to score a hat-trick by winning the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.”

देश की जनता 2024 में जीत की हैट्रिक लगाकर जिन्हें देश की बागडोर देने के लिए तैयार है। ऐसे माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी की उपस्थिति में कार्यकर्ताओं का जोश व उत्साह बता रहा है कि राजस्थान में भी इस बार कमल की बगिया लहलहाने वाली है और विकास का सूरज उगने वाला है।… pic.twitter.com/Fts66O2Okd

The entire nation recognises PM Modi’s strength and now the entire world is accepting his leadership, she said.

During the event, PM Modi was welcomed on the stage with a big garland. Both ex-CM Raje and the PM were in the frame. Her son and Jhalawar-Baran MP Dushyant Singh and the party's local candidates were present at the election meeting.

प्रदेशवासियों ने ठान लिया है कि वे इस महिला विरोधी, युवा विरोधी, किसान विरोधी, दलित विरोधी, श्रमिक विरोधी, व्यापारी विरोधी और विकास विरोधी सरकार को उखाड़ कर मोदी जी के हाथ मजबूत करेंगे तथा भारतीय जनता पार्टी को अपना भरपूर आशीर्वाद देंगे। #BJP4Rajasthan #JaiJaiRajasthan… pic.twitter.com/em6WbJgnqb

At the event, the prime minister was also seen conversing with Vasundhara Raje and Dushyant Chautala, who flanked him on stage.

Moreover, both top leaders have also taken a swipe at the Ashok Gehlot-led Rajasthan government ahead of the polls. 

गहलोत सरकार की योजनाएं सिर्फ अखबारों में हैं। चिरंजीवी स्कीम हमारी भामाशाह स्वास्थ्य बीमा योजना की नकल है। इसमें प्राइवेट अस्पताल तो इलाज ही नहीं करना चाहते। क्योंकि उन्हें कांग्रेस सरकार से पैसा मिलने की उम्मीद नहीं है।
