The Congress party began a ‘Vikas Yatra’ in Ajmer, framing the upcoming municipal elections as a contest against the BJP’s alleged 36‑year misrule.
Congress inaugurated a Vikas Yatra in Ajmer as part of its campaign for the forthcoming municipal elections. The rally drew party workers and local supporters. This tour is being positioned as a platform to highlight development promises while contrasting Congress’s agenda with what it describes as 36 years of BJP governance in the region. Party officials said the Vikas Yatra will visit key wards of Ajmer, emphasizing infrastructure, water supply and employment schemes to mobilise voters ahead of the polls. The BJP, which has held municipal power in Ajmer for several terms, has not yet issued a public response. Election officials have scheduled the municipal polls for later this year, and both parties are intensifying grassroots outreach.
