Rajasthan Election 2023 Constituency List

The Rajasthan assembly election 2023 was held in a single phase on November 25. Polling for the 200-member legislative assembly was earlier scheduled for November 23, but the Election Commission of India later changed the date to November 25 citing "large-scale" weddings and social engagements. In Rajasthan, the Congress is currently in power under the chief ministership of Ashok Gehlot. The last assembly election in Rajasthan was held in December 2018 in which the Congress emerged as the single-largest party. The counting of votes for the assembly election 2023 will be conducted on December 3. There are 10 key constituencies in Rajasthan from where the main two parties -- the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party -- have filed their main candidates. Upon assuming the role of Assam governor earlier this year, Gulab Chand Kataria vacated the Udaipur seat he had secured six times. Recently ousted from the Ashok Gehlot ministry, Rajendra Gudha won the Udaipurwati constituency in 2008 and 2018 on a BSP ticket but switched to the Congress both times. Gudha, who claims to possess a "red diary" documenting corruption by Ashok Gehlot, has joined with Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena. A consistent stronghold for the Congress in Jodhpur district, Sardarpura had elected chief minister Ashok Gehlot to the assembly since 1999 when he won a by-poll. Jhalrapatan is a BJP stronghold in Jhalawar district and has been represented by former chief minister Vasundhara Raje since 2003. Raje defeated Manvendra Singh Jasol, son of former Union minister Jaswant Singh, in the last election by about 35,000 votes. From Tonk, Congress leader Sachin Pilot won this seat in 2018. The constituency has a significant proportion of Gurjar, Scheduled Caste, and Muslim voters. Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra has represented the Laxmangarh seat since 2008. The BJP secured victory here only once in 2003. Jat leader Sis Ram Ola represented the Jhunjhunu constituency thrice, and his son Brijendra Ola has been winning it since 2008. Rajasthan's first assembly Speaker Narottam Lal (Congress) hailed from here. Another former Speaker, Sumitra Singh, won here six times, with four of those victories as a Congress candidate. Leader of the Opposition in the Rajasthan assembly Rajendra Rathore has represented the BJP stronghold of Churu six times since 1990. Since 1993, the Kota North seat has alternated between the BJP and the Congress. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla won here in 2003. Rajasthan minister and current MLA Shanti Dhariwal won the last election from this seat. Rajasthan mines minister Pramod Jain Bhaya currently represents the Anta constituency. ...read more
