This time from Congress, Ramlal Chauhan (Pidawa) is contesting against Raje. Due to the face of Saundhiya Rajput, Congress has staked its candidature. Also, after doing the caste arithmetic of the voters of Saundhiya Rajput community in the area, they have been given tickets in the hope of better equation.
Sardarpura seat
Ashok Gehlot is the current Chief Minister of Rajasthan since 2018. Veteran Congress leader Gehlot was the Chief Minister of Rajasthan from 1998 to 2003 and again from 2008 to 2013. He has been representing Sardarpura constituency since 1999 when he won the by-election. Gehlot won the seat in 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2018. In the 2018 Rajasthan Assembly election, Gehlot defeated Shambhu Singh Khetasar of the Bharatiya Janata Party by 45,597 votes.

The Congress, which is currently on the throne of Rajasthan, faced many problems during its five-year tenure, one of the main reasons for which was the bad relationship between Gehlot and veteran Congress leader Sachin Pilot. That is why this seat also becomes very important. Let us tell you that for the first time in the year 2018, Sachin Pilot won the election from Tonk. Before this, BJP’s Ajit Singh Mehta had been the MLA here. However, the electoral history of Tonk has been Congress-oriented, as Congress was in power here till 1998, 2003 and 2008. However, in the hope of repeating the story of 2013, BJP has again fielded Mehta.

Therefore, neither the incumbent Congress nor the key rival BJP is leaving any stone unturned with almost six months to go before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Congress party’s most prominent Jat face and State Congress Committee chief Govind Singh Dotasara, who is contesting from this seat for the fourth consecutive time, is facing a tough fight from BJP’s Subhash Maharia, a former Union minister and three-time MP from Sikar (1998-2009).
