Rajasthan Reservation Lottery

The reservation lottery has altered the electoral landscape of Rajasthan's local body elections. Key positions, including the mayoral seats in Jaipur and Jodhpur, are now open to candidates. In Kota, the mayoral seat has been reserved for an OBC woman candidate. Meanwhile, in Jaisalmer, the contest has narrowed down to a single ward, which has been reserved for an ST candidate. The reservation lottery has thrown up interesting combinations, with Bikaner division being reserved entirely for women candidates.
