Rajasthan Assembly Election 2023: Congress has suffered a major setback before the Rajasthan Assembly elections. Rameshwar Dadhich, close to CM Ashok Gehlot and former mayor of Jodhpur, has joined BJP. He had rebelled against Congress and filed an independent nomination from Sursagar seat, but on Thursday he withdrew his nomination and joined BJP.
According to media reports, Dadhich was associated with Congress for a long time and is considered a close aide of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok.

He further said that if Modi had not been the Prime Minister, the Ram temple would not have been constructed in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
