The Congress has announced candidates for all 57 wards of the Jaipur Zila Parishad in Rajasthan, releasing the names in two separate lists. The party has fielded 28 women candidates. Former Deputy Zila Pramukh Mohan Dagar has been renominated from Ward 12.
Political activity has intensified in Rajasthan ahead of the elections to Panchayati Raj institutions. Following the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Congress has declared its candidates for all 57 wards of the Jaipur Zila Parishad.
The party's candidate list includes 28 women among the 57 nominees, while Dagar has been given another opportunity to contest from Ward 12.
The Congress has released its candidate list for all 57 wards of the Jaipur Zila Parishad through two separate announcements. The declaration marks a further step in the party's preparations for the district-level elections.
Women account for 28 of the party's 57 candidates. The nominees will contest from their respective wards as the election campaign and local outreach activities progress.
The Congress has fielded former Deputy Zila Pramukh Mohan Dagar again from Ward 12 of the Jaipur Zila Parishad. Dagar has previously been active in district council politics and has served as Deputy Zila Pramukh.
During the previous Zila Parishad election, his name was associated with a cross-voting episode. At the time, Rama Chopra, who had won the Zila Parishad member election on a Congress ticket, joined the BJP. Jackie Tatiwal was also reported to have joined the BJP alongside her.
Subsequently, Dagar secured 25 votes in the Deputy Zila Pramukh election and succeeded in obtaining the post. The episode attracted attention in local Zila Parishad politics. The Congress has now renominated him from Ward 12.
With the Congress announcing candidates for all 57 Jaipur Zila Parishad wards, the electoral contest has become clearer. The BJP had already announced its candidates. Both parties are now positioned to focus on campaigning and voter outreach in their respective constituencies.
The Congress list includes 28 women candidates, making women's representation one of the features of the candidate selection. The renomination of established district-level political figures, including Dagar, also brings attention to local political alignments.
