Rajasthan's Royal Test Today: Can Gehlot's 'magic' propel Congress to rewrite history, or will BJP seize the Crown?
Rajasthan is poised for a crucial electoral showdown as voters head to the polls on Saturday. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is eyeing an opportunity to dislodge the incumbent Congress, who is trying hard to change history in a state where no party has been able to win consecutive government.
Rajasthan Elections: What are the vote timings
The voting will start at 7 am and continue till 6 pm across 199 out of 200 constituencies. However, voting will not happen in Sriganganagar's Karanpur seat due to the untimely demise of Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Koonar, also the sitting MLA, leading to the adjournment of the election in this constituency.
In the run-up to the polls, the Congress has centered its campaign on the achievements and performance of the Ashok Gehlot government, showcasing its welfare schemes and programs.
The party is relying on a pledge of seven guarantees if it secures a renewed mandate. In contrast, the BJP has directed its attack towards the Congress, focusing on issues like crime against women, appeasement, corruption, and paper leaks.
A whopping 1862 candidates are vying for victory, seeking the support of the 5,25,38,105 eligible voters.
