In the Ajmer municipal corporation elections, state minister Suraj Singh Rawat was defeated in both wards 61 and 54, with Congress candidates Minoor Meena and Preeti Mahur emerging victorious.
The recent elections for the Ajmer Municipal Corporation saw a significant upset as state minister Suraj Singh Rawat lost his bid to secure seats in two key wards.
In Ward 61, the Congress candidate Minoor Meena won the seat, while in Ward 54, Preeti Mahur of the same party claimed victory. Both wins contributed to a broader success for the Congress in the city’s municipal polls.
Rawat’s defeat marks a notable setback for the ruling party, as the minister had previously held a strong position in local politics. The results reflect a shift in voter sentiment and may influence future political strategies in the region.
Election officials confirmed the vote counts, and the outcomes were announced shortly after the polls closed. The municipal council will now be reconstituted with the new representatives.
Observers note that the loss could prompt a reassessment of the minister’s campaign approach and the party’s engagement with urban voters.
