Bayana (Rajasthan), Nov 26: Exuding confidence that BJP would win majority seats in the assembly elections in Rajasthan, party's chief ministerial candidate Vasundhara Raje today said her royal background and being woman were working in her advantage, rather then otherwise, in the poll campaign. "I don't believe that my royal linkage would be disadvantageous. Being a woman is definitely helping me in communicating with people, particularly women in rural areas," Raje told reporters on-board a helicopter during her campaign tour in Bharatpur and Dholpur areas.
To a question as to how she feels being projected as the first women chief minister of Rajasthan in "male dominated" BJP, she said there were many areas that were male dominated and BJP cannot be singled out for that.
Asked whether she took inspiration from Indira Gandhi irrrespective of party considerations, Raje said "I take inspiration from my mother late Vijaya Raje Scindia who taught us how one should be generous and courteous with every human being irrespective of ones' status.
Denying reports that some senior state leaders of BJP were considering her as an imposed leader and not (not) cooperating with her, Raje said all were working united for the success of the party at the hustings.
