New Bharatiya Janata Party president Nitin Gadkari has summoned leaders of Rajasthan unit's both factions to Delhi tomorrow to resolve political crisis emerging after protests by Vasundhara Raje loyalists over the state organisational polls, which she alleged "unfair and undemocratic."
    
Former chief minister Vasundhara Raje, Ramdas Agarwal, national party treasurer, Omprakash Mathur, former state party president (Raje faction) and present incumbent Arun Chaturvedi would report their claims over organisational election slated for December 24, party sources said.
    
When contacted former state president Mathur said that they were going to meet the new party president and apprise him over the "mismanagement of organisational polls" being underway in leadership of Arun Chaturvedi.
    
Chaturvedi on the other hand said he alone would be leaving early morning to meet the president apprising him of election status held in 28 districts of the state.

Meanwhile, Phoolchand Bhinda, election officer released the schedule of election to the post of the state president, and 25 members for the national council.

Filing of nomination, scrutiny of papers, and withdrawal of papers would take place on December 24, and if required, voting would be organised on December 25 at party office here, Bhinda said.

Yesterday, Raje and her supporters had left unattended and humiliated, when they demanded voters list and no office bearer paid heed to them on and they held a brief dharna sit in  on the lawns of party office here.
    
Raje's supporters including Ramdas Agarwal, RS Rathore, Sanwar Mal Jat, Dr Digambar Singh have shown strong resentment over Chaturvedi's nepotism and flaunting party norms.

Raje faction will appeal Gadkari in Delhi to postpone organisational polls and order a fresh polls date, rival sources said.

A list of 165 voters had already been posted on notice board by Bhinda. Of the 39 district units the organisational poll process was completed in 28 districts, he said.

In these 28 districts, 165 nominees including MLAs would be electing the state president on December 24.
