Ahead of the 2026 Rajasthan urban local body elections, the BJP has informed candidates, including relatives of senior leader Gulab Chand Kataria, of their tickets via phone in Udaipur.
The election fever across Rajasthan's 309 urban local bodies has intensified as parties gear up for the 2026 municipal polls. While both the BJP and the Congress have yet to publish their official candidate rosters, the ruling party has taken a discreet approach to avoid internal dissent. Senior BJP officials contacted selected aspirants directly on their phones to convey ticket allocations.
Among those notified were relatives of senior BJP stalwart Gulab Chand Kataria, a prominent figure in the state's political landscape. Their inclusion signals the party's intent to leverage established networks in key constituencies such as Udaipur.
The move comes as the BJP seeks to consolidate its position ahead of a fiercely contested election cycle, with senior faces expected to dominate the campaign trail in the coming weeks.
