The Hindu
Congress announces candidates for Rajasthan bypolls on seven assembly seats, no alliance with regional parties, voting on November 13.
The Congress has declared candidates for bypolls on seven assembly seats in Rajasthan.
The list was released by the AICC late on Wednesday (October 23, 2024) night, according to which the party has fielded Amit Ola, sitting Congress MP Brijendra Ola's son, from Jhunjhunu. While Aryaan Khan has been given ticket from the Ramgarh seat which fell vacant after the death of this father Zubair Khan.
From Dausa, the party has announced Deendayal Bairwa as its candidate.
Similarly, Kastoor Chand Meena, Ratan Choudhary, Mahesh Roat and Reshma Meena have been fielded from Deoli-Uniara, Khinvsar, Chorasi and Salumbar, respectively.
The Congress has not formed an alliance with any regional party for the bypolls, unlike the Lok Sabha elections.
The BJP has already declared candidates for six out of seven seats. The party has not yet announced candidate for the Chorasi seat.
The last date of filing nominations is October 25.
A visit to several locations by The Hindu, including Bannerghatta Road, Shanthinagar, Jayanagar, and J.P. Nagar, revealed that much of the material used to fill potholes and craters has been washed away. The layers of mud and stones meant to cover the holes have simply flowed away with the rains, resulting in a hazardous driving experience, particularly for two-wheeler riders.
