Reputations of political heavyweights including CM Bhajanlal Sharma on the line as voting ends in Rajasthan bypolls

New Indian Express  

JAIPUR: Voting for the bypolls across seven assembly seats in Rajasthan concluded on Wednesday, with 69 candidates in the race. The results on November 23 will significantly impact the political influence of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, Congress State President Govind Singh Dotasara, Sachin Pilot, Agriculture Minister Dr. Kirori Lal Meena, RLP Chief Hanuman Beniwal, and BAP leader Rajkumar Roat. Under State President Govind Singh Dotasara’s leadership, the Congress won 11 seats in the recent Lok Sabha elections, ending a 25-0 drought since 2014. Agriculture Minister Dr. Kirori Lal Meena’s brother Jagmohan Meena is the BJP candidate from Dausa, with rumours suggesting the minister’s resignation may have influenced the ticket allocation. A win for Jagmohan would solidify Dr. Meena’s standing, while a loss could prove challenging, as he has publicly expressed disappointment over previous setbacks in the Lok Sabha elections.
