The Congress Party is gearing up for the upcoming assembly election in Rajasthan, with its poll campaign set to kick off on October 16. The campaign’s slogan, “Kaam Kiya Dil Se, Congress Fir Se” (Work Done with Heart, Congress Again), reflects the party’s commitment to governance and development.
With the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) as a top priority, the Congress Party plans to launch its campaign from Baran district and cover the 13 eastern districts of Rajasthan. These districts include Jhalawar, Baran, Kota, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur, Ajmer, Tonk, Jaipur, Dausa, Karauli, Alwar, Bharatpur, and Dholpur.
Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, the Congress state in-charge, emphasized the significance of the ERCP and the party’s commitment to addressing the issues related to it. He stated, “Today we had a meeting with our leaders of eastern Rajasthan. As the chief minister said that we will start our election campaign from eastern Rajasthan against the BJP’s betrayal on the formation of ERCP.”
Randhawa expressed disappointment that despite Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, a Rajasthan leader, serving as the Jal Shakti Minister, the state had not received the project. He called it a misfortune for Rajasthan and criticized the BJP for not prioritizing the state’s needs.
The Congress Party is enthusiastic about the upcoming assembly elections in Rajasthan, according to Randhawa. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced the party’s campaign slogan, “Kaam Kiya Dil Se, Congress Fir Se,” indicating the party’s commitment to its work and its desire to return to power.
The campaign will cover two districts each day, with a significant public meeting held in one of the districts. Before the campaign’s official start, the party plans to engage with people at the block level until October 15, aiming to connect with voters at the grassroots level.
Congress State President Govind Singh Dotasra highlighted the party’s achievements in fulfilling 98% of the promises made in its manifesto. He noted that the next manifesto would be based on the “Vision 2030” document, reflecting the party’s vision for the state’s future.
Dotasra also commented on the factionalism within the BJP and suggested that the BJP had no response to the schemes implemented by the Gehlot government.
As preparations for the election continue, the state election committee plans to present the names of potential candidates to the screening committee for consideration during the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting scheduled to be held in Delhi on Monday. The election campaign in Rajasthan promises to be an engaging and competitive one, with the Congress Party seeking to secure its position in the state.
