The second phase of the Paratapur-Garhi municipal elections is set for September 11, with BJP, Congress and BAP contesting all 25 wards.
The Rajasthan State Election Commission has scheduled the second round of voting for the Paratapur-Garhi municipal body on September 11. Voters in the town will elect representatives for all 25 wards, completing the two-stage election process.
A three-cornered contest has emerged, pitting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against the Indian National Congress and the Bahujan Aam Party (BAP). The BJP, which secured a win in the first phase, is campaigning for a second victory, while Congress is looking to capture its first ward in the municipality.
Local issues dominate the campaign narrative. Residents have repeatedly highlighted inadequate road infrastructure, irregular drinking-water supply and congested traffic as priority concerns, and each party has pledged remedial measures.
Election officials have urged citizens to exercise their franchise, noting that turnout in the first phase was moderate. The outcome will shape the municipal administration’s ability to address the town’s pressing civic challenges.
