The Congress party announced it will confront the BJP‑led Rajasthan government in the assembly, raising questions on road work, education, unemployment and pending budget announcements.
In the lead‑up to the next session of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, the Congress party signalled its intent to surround the ruling BJP government on the floor. Party leaders said they will use procedural tools to press the administration on a range of pending issues.\nThe opposition plans to focus on the state’s road infrastructure, the quality and reach of education, rising unemployment and several budgetary announcements that remain incomplete. By spotlighting these areas, Congress aims to hold the government accountable and rally public support ahead of the upcoming elections.\nSeparately, the controversial Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill, expected to be debated after the local body elections, appears to have been postponed to a later session, according to sources familiar with the legislative calendar. The delay adds another point of contention that the opposition may raise during its assembly campaign.\nAnalysts note that a coordinated assault in the house could strain the BJP’s legislative agenda and test the coalition’s cohesion, especially as the state approaches a critical electoral cycle.
