Congress releases second list of 43 candidates for Rajasthan Assembly Polls

Digital Desk: In an increasingly competitive political environment, the Congress party on Sunday (Oct 22) released its second list of 43 candidates for the upcoming Rajasthan Assembly Elections. The party's first list featured significant individuals like Ashok Gehlot, the chief minister, and Sachin Pilot, a former deputy chief minister.

The second list features a wide range of candidates, demonstrating the party's dedication to inclusive representation.

Govind Ram Meghwal has been nominated as a candidate from Khajuwala, while Pratap Singh Khachariya is vying for the Civil Lines seat, making them two of the more well-known candidates. A seasoned politician named Parsadi Lal Meena is prepared to represent Lolsot.

The initial list, which was released on October 21, included both unexpected candidates and well-known figures. A well-known politician from Rajasthan, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, has filed to run in the Sardarpura district. On the other hand, Sachin Pilot, a well-known member of the Congress party and a former deputy chief minister, plans to contest from Tonk.

The emphasis accorded to members of the Sachin Pilot group in the first list was a key feature. Four of his supporters won nominations in the first round, demonstrating the party's emphasis on inclusivity and cohesion.

Speaker CP Joshi will run in the assembly elections from Nathdwara, a significant stronghold in the state. The leader of the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee (RPCC), Govind Singh Dotasara, has been given a ticket for the Laxmangarh district.
