In rajasthan, there has been a tradition of changing the government in every assembly election for the last three
decades and here once again there is a possibility of a direct contest between the ruling congress and the
opposition Bharatiya Janata Party. congress leader rahul gandhi had said last month that the contest in the
assembly elections in rajasthan will be very close. By saying this, he in a way indicated that he is not more
confident about his party forming the government again in rajasthan as compared to other states. Considering the
'convention' of the state, it is possible that this assessment of the congress leader may prove to be correct.
The election commission on monday (October 9) announced the schedule of 2023 assembly elections in New
Delhi. According to this, voting for all 200 assembly seats in the state will be held on november 23 while the
counting of votes will take place on december 3.
Appealing to form double engine government
The history of bjp coming to power in the state in 1993 shows that after that, in every assembly election,
congress has been at the helm of power and bjp has been at the helm of power. That means no party could form
the government twice consecutively. In terms of this convention, this time it is BJP's turn to come to power. This
equation is being formed at a time when the leaders of the bharatiya janata party are appealing to form a double
engine government in the state so that there can be a single party government at the Center and the state and
development can be accelerated.
cm Gehlot is making this claim
At the same time, congress leaders claim that this time the custom of the state will be broken. That means once
again congress government will come. chief minister Ashok Gehlot has said many times that for the first time no
anti-incumbency wave has been seen against the government in the state. Gehlot has been busy working for the
last several months by announcing welfare schemes one after the other. He repeatedly claims that the benefits of
his welfare schemes reach every village, every family in the state.
