Rajasthan Polls: Relatives face off in 4 seats including husband vs wife

Live Mint  

Rajasthan Assembly Elections: The high-stakes Assembly polls that will be held on 25 November, will also witness relatives pitted against each other including a husband contesting his wife and nieces up against their uncles. The family has traditionally been with the Congress but it witnessed a political split when Rita Chaudhary joined JJP in August this year, and was made the state president of JJP's women wing. Her expectations to get a ticket from the Congress party in the 2018 assembly elections were dashed as the party chose her husband Virendra. Former Congress MP Jyoti Mirdha joined the BJP sometime back and was made the party candidate in Nagaur while the Congress has chosen her uncle Harendra Mirdha as its candidate.
