In preparation for the Lok Sabha elections, Jalore, a rural constituency in Rajasthan, is gearing up with 2,64,331 eligible voters and a literacy rate of 54.86%. The BJP has replaced its incumbent MP with farmer Lumbaram Chaudhary, while Congress has named Vaibhav Gehlot, son of former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, as the candidate from Jalore-Sirohi. Despite the BJP s stronghold in Jalore in the past four Lok Sabha elections, the Congress has made significant gains, winning 99 seats in the 2018 state election, setting the stage for a closely contested battle in Rajasthan.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is facing internal rebellion in Rajasthan as local ticket aspirants in six major districts have declared that they will contest as independents against the party s official candidates. The decision to field MPs in the forthcoming assembly elections has triggered protests and resignations from party members. The discontent stems from the belief that local candidates who have worked hard for their constituencies are being overlooked in favor of MPs. The rebellion has intensified to the point where party workers have pelted stones at the cars of some candidates.
