Congress Unveils Udaipur Election Manifesto, Labels CM Bhajan Lal's Roadshow a Flop, Targets 45 Seats

On Sunday, the Rajasthan unit of the Indian National Congress formally presented its election manifesto for the upcoming Udaipur municipal elections. The document, released at a public gathering in Udaipur, outlines the party’s commitments across urban development, lake conservation, health, education, employment and women’s safety.
In the same event, Congress leaders sharply criticized Chief Minister Bhajan Lal’s recent road‑show campaign, describing it as a “flop show” that failed to address the city’s pressing issues. The party argued that the CM’s tour was more about political theatrics than tangible solutions.
The manifesto also contains a bold claim that the Congress will secure 45 seats in the municipal council, a figure that far exceeds its current representation. Party officials said the target reflects growing public discontent with the incumbent administration and a desire for change.
The release comes amid heightened political activity in Udaipur, with parties mobilising supporters ahead of the municipal polls scheduled later this year. Observers note that the Congress’s focus on lake preservation and women’s safety could resonate with urban voters.
