The party announced the list after after the Central Election Committee (CEC) held a meeting today in which the candidates were finalised. The meeting was chaired by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. During the meeting, CPP Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. PCC President Govind Singh Dotasara and other senior leaders of the party were also present.
The names of UDH Minister Shanti Dhariwal and PHED Minister Mahesh Joshi, who went against the party’s decision to hold MLAs meeting, are not even in the fourth list. There was a possibility that both the leaders might get tickets in this list, but the Congress high command has once again put the names of both on hold.
“Advance congratulations for victory to the 56 candidates declared in the fourth list of the Congress Party for the Rajasthan Assembly Elections-2023,” said PCC President Govind Singh Dotasara.
