In preparation for the upcoming Rajasthan assembly elections, the Congress party unveiled its fourth list of candidates, naming 56 leaders who will contest various constituencies. Notable mentions in this list include national spokesperson Gourav Vallabh from Udaipur and Manvendra Singh, the son of the late BJP stalwart Jaswant Singh, who will represent Siwana.
With this latest announcement, the Congress has now declared 151 candidates for the polls scheduled for November 25 in the desert state. The party is determined to challenge the trend of incumbent governments being voted out in Rajasthan.
