Rajasthan goes to polls on November 25. THE BJP is campaigning aggressively. There is a tough fight between the Congress and the BJP. The PM has taken charge of the campaign. But on behalf of the Congress, CM Ashok Gehlot is in charge of the campaign. Rahul Gandhi has not yet come for campaigning. Rahul Gandhi has not come to Rajasthan for 40 days. Rahul Gandhi had addressed a workers’ convention in Jaipur on September 23. Earlier, on August 9, he had come to attend a rally at Mangarh Dham in Banswara district. Political experts are finding different political meanings for this. Experts say that Rahul Gandhi has talked about a close competition in Rajasthan. In such a situation, Rahul Gandhi’s focus is on the other four states. However, Priyanka Gandhi has held two rallies. Kharge has also held two public meetings. But Rahul Gandhi has not held a single public meeting. Congress leaders say that after Diwali, there will be rallies of Rahul Gandhi, Kharge and Priyanka Gandhi. But there is very little time for publicity. Priyanka Gandhi will address rallies in Tonk on September 10 and in Sikrai in Dausa on September 20.

Elections in five states are being seen as a ‘semi-final’ before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. While voting has been done in Mizoram, the second phase of voting is yet to be held in Chhattisgarh. Apart from this, votes are also to be cast in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana. It has been a long time since the elections were announced, but since then Congress President Rahul Gandhi has been away from Rajasthan. Rajasthan goes to polls on December 25, which means all parties now have a fortnight to woo voters. Rahul Gandhi’s name is at number three in the list of star campaigners of the Congress party for Rajasthan. Mallikarjun Kharge and Sonia Gandhi are at number one in this list. Rahul Gandhi’s distance from Rajasthan has become a matter of whisper in the Congress party so far, but senior party leaders say that Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are coming to the state to hold many rallies after the elections.

The election dates for five states, including Rajasthan, were announced on October 9. Despite this, Rahul Gandhi has not come for campaigning. While in Mizoram, Rahul Gandhi has campaigned continuously for three days. Rahul Gandhi’s rallies and road shows have been held in Telangana. Telangana goes to polls on November 30. However, Priyanka Gandhi has held two rallies in Tonk and Sikrai in Dausa district. But Rahul Gandhi’s rallies have not taken place. Political experts say that there is a change of power in Rajasthan every five years. In such a situation, Rahul Gandhi’s focus is more in Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Mizoram. The Congress is said to be in a better position in Chhattisgarh. There is a tough fight in Telangana. Congress government can be formed. That is why Rahul Gandhi is not paying much attention to Rajasthan. Rahul Gandhi has praised the schemes of CM Ashok Gehlot. But he is keeping a distance from campaigning.
