In Nagaur’s Ward 22, Munni Solanki is contesting the municipal poll on a Congress ticket while her daughters‑in‑law Rekha and Baby Solanki are standing as independent candidates, setting up a family face‑off.
The municipal elections in Nagaur have taken a personal turn in Ward 22, where three women from the same family are pitted against each other. Munni Solanki, the mother‑in‑law, has secured a ticket from the Indian National Congress to contest the ward seat.
Her two daughters‑in‑law, Rekha Solanki and Baby Solanki, are running as independent candidates, refusing to align with any party. The three candidates share a household, turning the local poll into a rare intra‑family contest.
Election officials have confirmed the nominations, and campaign activity in the ward has intensified as the family members canvass voters separately. Voters in the area now face a choice not only between party platforms but also between closely related candidates.
Political analysts note that such family‑centric battles are uncommon in Rajasthan’s municipal politics, and the outcome could influence how local parties approach candidate selection in future elections.
The contest is being closely watched by regional media, with reports indicating that the family’s political rivalry has sparked lively discussions among residents of Nagaur.
