Rajasthan local body elections: Nominations conclude across multiple municipalities
The nomination process for urban local body elections in Rajasthan concluded on Monday, marked by significant activity across various municipalities including Jaipur, Sirohi, and Begun.
In Jaipur, the Indian National Congress released its official list of ward candidates, covering major areas such as Vidhyadhar Nagar, Jhotwara, and Sanganer. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced candidates for several municipal corporations, including Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, and Ajmer, shortly before the deadline. The nomination process in Jaipur saw internal friction, including a dispute over the candidate for Ward 76, which required intervention from BJP State President Madan Rathore.
In Sirohi, a total of 214 candidates filed nominations for the 35 wards of the Sirohi Municipal Council, while 193 candidates applied for the 25 wards of the Pindwara Municipality. In Begun, 104 candidates filed nominations for 35 wards, with a notable number of independent candidates challenging the major parties.
The next steps in the electoral process will involve the scrutiny of nomination papers and the period for the withdrawal of candidacies.
