Rajasthan Election 2023: Voting for Rajasthan Assembly elections will be held on Saturday. During this period, the future of about 1862 candidates from across the state will be decided. Voting will take place on Saturday from 7 am to 6 pm. A total of 51,507 polling stations have been set up at 36,101 places in the state. Preparations have been completed at all the centres. But, how are the preparations for the parties? Many major parties including BJP and Congress have put in their strength but will that be enough? Will the present situation outweigh the hatred of the past? Will Rajasthan change power again? There are many such questions. But, today we will talk about the situation of the ruling Congress party.
Controversy continues since 2018
In this election, the Congress party would like to change the history of Rajasthan and come to power again and again. But, when the party came to government in 2018 after many challenges, they were more worried than happy. The controversy that had started within the party at that time because of the ‘Chief Minister’s chair’ was clearly visible till the election dates were announced. But, as the dates approached, the alliance started appearing again.
Sachin Pilot Vs Ashok Gehlot!
Hardly anyone is aware of the dispute between Congress leader Sachin Pilot and Ashok Gehlot. This dispute divided Rajasthan Congress into two factions. In such a situation, it is clear that while BJP would like to capitalize on this as an opportunity, Congress will take it as a challenge. But, for the leaders who keep the post-election equation in mind, the election results may prove to be very difficult to make their mark due to this reason.
