Congress leader Dinesh Dotasra alleged that the Rajasthan government is delaying municipal elections and raised concerns over procedural irregularities.
Dinesh Dotasra, state president of the Rajasthan Congress, publicly accused the BJP‑led state government of postponing the schedule for local body elections that are due across the state. He said the delay lacks justification and pointed to alleged irregularities in the notification process, suggesting a political motive to benefit the ruling party. The Congress party demanded an immediate announcement of the election timetable and called for an independent review to ensure transparency. As of now, the state government has not responded to the accusations. The pending polls, covering panchayats and municipal councils, are crucial for grassroots governance in Rajasthan.
