Dungarpur

Urban local body elections in Rajasthan are taking an unusual turn. Instead of the typical BJP versus Congress rivalry, candidates are ignoring party lines and showing unexpected goodwill. In Nathdwara, a BJP candidate publicly supported a Congress rival. In Sikar, a Congress leader was seen blessing a BJP opponent. These moments show how local ties often matter more than party labels.

Election challenges and local reactions

The campaign trail has seen some tension. In Dungarpur, a rebel candidate claimed officials used intimidation tactics by releasing dogs near his office. In Kota, residents have threatened to skip voting because of development problems. A weird error also appeared in a voter list where a photo of Lord Hanuman was used instead of a resident.

Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma is pushing for a triple-engine government. Meanwhile, former CM Ashok Gehlot has criticized the ruling party for holding roadshows for local polls. Voters will soon decide if these events change the final results.

Supreme Court judges have spoken on the long-delayed elections for Rajasthan Cricket Association. During a hearing on Tuesday, the bench asked why an ad-hoc committee stayed in power for so long. They felt avoiding elections for this long was unacceptable.

The court refused to stop the earlier Rajasthan High Court order. Election process will now move forward under Administrator Bhaskar A. Sawant. He has to finish the voter list and set a clear schedule for polls.

Election Timeline

The court expects the new executive committee to take charge within three months. This decision ends the uncertainty that lasted for a long time.
