Rewari is witnessing a four cornered fight with Laxman Singh from Congress, Satish Yadav from AAP and Sunny Yadav fighting as an independent candidate. Rao, who is the son of Congress veteran captain (retd) Ajay Singh Yadav has roped in several top Congress leaders to campaign in Rewari.

On Thursday, Chiranjiv Rao said that his family has done lot of work in Rewari but during his stint as MLA the current BJP government discriminated against the constituency as he was an opposition MLA and did not allow development. “The Congress is now forming the government and I ask the people to give me a chance again. Rewari will witness unprecedented development in the next five years under the Congress government and it will also get a share in government,” he said.

Once the Congress government is formed, Rao said they will ensure that Congress guarantees such as 2000 rupees per month is given to women, gas cylinder is given at a subsidized rate if Rz 500 rupees. “Our government will give 6000 pension to elderly, disabled and widows, old pension scheme will be given to employees, and we will recruit two lakh permanent employees,” he said.

Rajasthan Congress president and opposition leader Govind Singh Dodasara said that people of Rewari are fed up with inflation, unemployment and corruption and they want change. “The people must vote for Chiranjiv Rao to end the misrule of BJP so that government employees, businessmen, soldiers, farmers can get relief,” he said.

Six time Rewari MLA Ajay Yadav said that there is lot of anger among the people about inflation, unemployment, corruption, property ID and family ID in the state and the people have decided to vote for change. “This is one of the largest roadshows ever in the state. The Congress Party is going to form its government by winning more than 70 seats,” he said.
