Rajkot Election Result 2024 LIVE: The counting of the votes for the Rajkot Lok Sabha seat has begun. Located in Saurashtra, Rajkot, one of the 26 Lok Sabha constituencies in Gujarat, is the highlight of the Lok Sabha election 2024 as BJP candidate Parshottam Rupala, who made a controversial remark against Kshatriya women, contested from this seat. Despite repeated apologies, the remark incited substantial unrest. Rupala's direct competition is with Congress candidate Dhanani Paresh. So, it's going to be a tough war between BJP and Congress. For the unversed, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's political journey began from here when he won the by-election from the Rajkot seat.
