Congress activists staged a dharna during the Jaipur mayoral poll, while MLA Rafik Khan raised serious accusations concerning the election process.
Jaipur's mayoral election, scheduled for this week, was marked by a visible protest from Congress party workers who set up a dharna at the polling venue. The demonstration was intended to draw attention to concerns they claim exist around the conduct of the vote.
Rafik Khan, a Congress legislator from the city, addressed the gathering and alleged serious irregularities in the election proceedings, though he did not disclose detailed evidence in the statement. He urged election officials to ensure transparency and called for an immediate review of the process.
Election officials, however, affirmed that the poll was being conducted in accordance with the Election Commission's guidelines. The protest continued for several hours before authorities cleared the area, and voting resumed without further incident. The outcome of the mayoral race is expected to be announced later this week.
