Rajasthan Election 2023

The voting for Rajasthan Assembly elections 2023 will be held on November 23 and votes will be counted on December 3. The election will be held in a singe phase, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced on Monday.

Rajasthan will witness a frontal struggle between the BJP and the Congress, with the saffron party hoping to overthrow the Ashok Gehlot-led government by riding the anti-incumbency wave.

The outcome in Rajasthan, which goes to polls alongside Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Mizoram, and Madhya Pradesh, will be a harbinger of what is to come in the national elections in 2024.
