Rajasthan polls: With high turnout, Congress sees pro-incumbency, BJP change

Hindustan Times  

The high voter turnout in Rajasthan on Saturday enthused both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party with both the parties seeing it as a vote in their favour. While the Congress said the turnout showed pro incumbency in its favour based on its welfare schemes, the BJP saw it as an emphatic vote for change. According to the BJP, the high turnout in eastern Rajasthan, which has a considerable presence of Gujjar community voters, indicates that the community has voted for the BJP as they were miffed with the Congress for not making Sachin Pilot as the chief minister. BJP spokesperson Laxmikant Bhardwaj said, “In the last elections, the Gujjars voted for the Congress en masse in the hope that Sachin Pilot would be the CM. On high voting percentage, senior Congress leader Mumtaz Massih said, “The high number is pro-incumbency towards the sitting government for their work, policies and schemes, which are a subject of discussion in India and abroad.” He said, “Rajasthan is first to bring a separate budget for farmers, a gig worker welfare bill, stringent laws for paper leak, restore Old Pension Scheme, pension to one crore and ₹25 lakh Chiranjeevi health insurance.
