Congress sixth list of candidates: The Rajasthan Congress on Saturday released its sixth list of candidates comprising 22 names for the upcoming Assembly elections. With the latest list, the party has so far announced its candidates on 178 seats while leaving one seat – Bharatpur – for the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD).
In its sixth list, the party has denied ticket to Public Health Engineering Department Minister Mahesh Joshi from his Hawa Mahal constituency in Jaipur, and instead fielded Jaipur unit president RR Tiwari.
In September 2022, Joshi, Urban Development and Housing Minister Shanti Dhariwal and Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC) Chairman Dharmendra Rathore were served show-cause notices for going against the party’s whip in 2022.
The state goes to polls in a single phase on November 25 and counting of votes will be on December 3.
