Rajasthan

It is noteworthy that several decisions were taken by the previous government just before the imposition of the Model Code of Conduct for elections.

Shekhawat, in his defamation complaint, alleged that the former CM of Rajasthan, Gehlot, by way of press conferences and media reports, defamed him by linking him to the Sanjivani Credit Society scam.

Preliminary findings suggest lack of effective communication

The CM Bhajanlal Sharma reportedly met BJP chief JP Nadda over the composition of his team.

Ashok Gehlot had challenged the defamation complaint filed against him by Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat followed by the former’s remarks on the alleged Sanjivani Scam row linking the latter.

Considered a hardcore RSS man, Sharma was actively involved in the agitation for the Ram temple in Ayodhya at the site where the Babri mosque stood.

Gogamedi was gunned down in the living room of his house in Jaipur on Dec 5. The police had identified the two alleged killers as Rohit Rathore from Jaipur and Nitin Fauji from Haryana.

The development came after nearly 60 of the newly elected BJP MLAs met her at her Civil Lines residence on Monday and Tuesday.

On Tuesday, two men had opened fire on Gogamedi in broad daylight and fled. Gogamedi was taken to Metro Mass Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.

Ashok Gehlot's OSD Lokesh Sharma claimed that the monitoring was happening from before Sachin Pilot's rebellion as there was some idea that such a thing could happen.

It remains to be seen whether the BJP will maintain its tradition of surprising decisions or choose to align with the familiar figure of Vasundhara Raje.

The prolonged power struggle between Gehlot and Pilot over the Chief Minister's post, spanning the entire five years, eroded public trust, despite attempts to present a united front during the polls.

In case of a hung assembly, nearly two dozen independents, rebels and smaller party candidates who may get elected are being wooed by both sides intensively.

Congressmen said that the public supported the government of Ashok Gehlot's "seven guarantees" and social welfare programs.

A highly optimistic Congress said that the public have voted for the social welfare schemes and seven guarantees of the Gehlot government.

40 seats in Rajasthan, where rebels and independents are in fray, can swing it either way

The Popular Front of India (PFI) is a terrorist organisation and the government has banned it. But PFI processions take place in Kota and the Congress government sleeps, says PM.

The BJP’s focus on the exam paper leak in its campaign has prompted the Congress to make substantial promises to various sections of the society, particularly the youth.

Highlighting her concern over the BJP’s alleged exploitation of religious polarisation for electoral gains, Priyanka Gandhi condemned the saffron party’s approach.
