The ongoing Rajasthan Assembly elections have captured attention as a precursor to the 2024 political landscape. With voting underway on 199 out of 200 seats since 7 AM, the demise of Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Kunner halted elections in the Karanpur constituency. This setback not only affected Rajasthan but also echoed across five states, turning this electoral contest into a semi-final for 2024.
CM Ashok Gehlot, amidst the fervor of voting, shared an emotional video affirming his Rajasthan roots with the post captioned ‘Because I am a Rajasthani!’—a sentiment resonating deeply with locals. Gehlot’s gesture aimed to solidify the Congress stance, emphasizing its impactful presence rather than being just a fleeting force.
However, the election trail has been marred by incidents like the violation of the code of conduct in Chhabra, where Congress candidate Karan Singh flouted norms by affixing his photo on voter slips, triggering objections from other contestants.
This election buzz isn’t merely political but strategic, with BJP and Congress engaging in a rigorous battle, indicating a fierce contest ahead in 2024.
