BJP vs Congress battle 

While the incumbent Congress is hoping for another term in Rajasthan, opposition party BJP is eyeing a return in the state ahead of the Lok Sabha polls next year leveraging Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity. 

Rajasthan's electoral history shows a unique trend as no government has secured re-election since 1993. The state has alternated between the BJP and the Congress, with the Congress emerging victorious in 2018.

In 2018, the Congress became the single largest party with 100 seats, short of the majority by 1 seat in the 200-member assembly. This time, 199 seats went to the election.

Rajasthan has a total of 200 assembly seats but polling was held on 199 seats as election in Karanpur seat of Sriganganagar district was postponed following the death of Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Koonar. There are 5,25,38,105 voters in the 199 assembly constituencies.

Highest voter turnout was recorded in Jaisalmer’s Pokaran with 87.79%, closely followed by Alwar’s Tijara with 86.11%.
 
Important seats to watch: 

1. Sardarpura - Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot is contesting the election from the Sardarpura constituency which has been a stronghold for Congress. He will be defending his seat against BJP's Mahendra Singh Rathore.

In 2018, Gehlot won the Sardarpura seat by securing 45,990 votes against the BJP's Shambhu Singh.

2. Jhalrapatan - Two time Rajasthan CM and BJP candidate Vasundhara Raje is contesting from Jhalrapatan, which she has represented since 2003. Raje was appointed the CM for the first time after she defeated Congress candidate and Sachin Pilot's mother Rama Pilot.

Raje is being challenged by Congress party's Ramlal Chauhan in 2023.

3. Tonk - Sachin Pilot is the sitting MLA from Tonk and he is being challenged by the BJP's Ajit Singh Mehta.

5. Nathdwara - Nathdwara is up for grabs between BJP candidate and the descendant of Maharana Pratap Singh, Vishwaraj Singh Mewar and Congress candidate CP Joshi.
