Krsna is everyone's. Rukmini ma is nothing but an expansion of Chandravali, who alongwith Radharani were the two principal gopis. She is Lakshmiji, She is Sitaji. Would you say like this for Ram Sita also? Am sure your answer is no. Why Krsna has so many wives and gopis - He is unlimited. If you dont like even Rukminiji with Krsna, how can you aspire to be one of the queens/ gopis of Krsna (the concept that there is only one enjoyer, one purusha and the rest of us are enjoyed).
