As the state eagerly anticipates the declaration of results for the 2023 Assembly Election in Rajasthan, the political landscape has been tense. The incumbent Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, representing the Indian National Congress (INC), made earnest efforts to persuade voters for another term in office. In contrast, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the primary opposition, exuded confidence in altering the electoral dynamics in their favor. Notably, BJP's prominent figure and former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje garnered significant attention as a key candidate in the state.
In the preceding 2018 Assembly Election, the INC secured 100 seats, while the BJP clinched 73 in Rajasthan's 200-seat legislative assembly. The voting for these coveted seats occurred on November 25, 2023. The state witnessed a multi-faceted political scenario, with parties like the BJP, Congress, SP, BSP, and various regional entities vying for influence.
A striking aspect of Rajasthan's electoral history is the aversion to re-electing the incumbent government, a trend prevailing for the past three decades, heightening the anticipation surrounding this year's election outcome. The declaration of results is poised to usher in an era of significant political shifts in the state.
