In the Ajmer Municipal elections, Ward 12 has emerged as a key contest between Congress candidate Pooja Tak and BJP candidate Ranjana Soni, with voters prioritising basic infrastructure issues.
Ward 12 of Ajmer has turned into one of the most closely watched seats in the city's municipal elections. The contest pits Congress' Pooja Tak against BJP's Ranjana Soni, both of whom have launched intensive door‑to‑door campaigns in the neighbourhood.
Local residents say the election has sharpened focus on everyday development concerns. Candidates are repeatedly asked about the condition of roads, the state of drainage systems, street‑light coverage, and the reliability of electricity supply. Cleanliness and waste‑management have also featured prominently in public meetings.
Both parties have promised swift remedial action if elected, citing specific projects such as resurfacing cracked roads, clearing clogged drains, installing additional street lamps, and improving garbage collection frequency. Voters are watching closely to see which candidate can translate promises into tangible improvements for the ward.
Election officials have scheduled voting for the municipal polls later this month, and the outcome in Ward 12 is expected to influence broader party strategies across Ajmer. The tight race underscores the growing importance of local infrastructure in determining voter preferences in Rajasthan's urban centres.
