With nominations for 309 urban bodies in Rajasthan closing, the BJP has privately communicated ticket allocations to its candidates over the phone, while both major parties await official lists.
Election activity has intensified across Rajasthan's 309 municipal and town bodies as the deadline for filing nominations approaches. Both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress have refrained from publishing their official candidate rosters, keeping the public list under wraps.
Sources indicate that the BJP, wary of internal dissent, opted to convey ticket assignments directly to selected aspirants through telephone calls. This discreet method is intended to prevent leaks and curb any potential sabotage within the party ranks.
The move comes amid a broader scramble by political outfits to secure favorable candidates ahead of the upcoming local polls. Election officials have confirmed that today marks the final day for submitting nomination papers for the urban local bodies.
While the Congress party's internal communication strategy remains undisclosed, analysts expect both parties to finalize their line‑ups shortly, setting the stage for a competitive contest in Rajasthan's urban constituencies.
Election observers note that the secrecy surrounding candidate lists could influence voter perception and campaign dynamics as the election date draws nearer.
