    Mood of Ratangrh This Rajasthan Assembly Elections 2023

    Ratangarh. Election year is interesting especially for the public who is usually ignored for five years before the politicians are reminded of their voters. Slowly the mood for elections can be seen in Ratangarh legislative assembly area as well. Candidates waiting for an opportunity to get the party ticket this year, have already started preparing for the elections.

    Social media of the candidates have become active with many already started campaigning and Jan Sabhayen to meet people in their constituency. Ratangarh legislative assembly has been an important seat in the Shekhawati region. BJP candidates have been winning this seat for the last two year but this year it seems, it will be difficult for the BJP to blossom their lotus.

    In the year 2013, Pusaram Godara was the candidate of Congress and Rajkumar Rinwa from BJP, who later won as a part of ‘Modi Wave’. In 2018 i.e. in the very next elections, BJP chose Abhinesh Maharishi as their MLA candidate who is of Sangh background and Bhanwarlal Pujari was from Congress.

    In these elections, Rajkumar Rinwan and Pusaram Godara fought as independent candidates. The results were quite shocking because Congress candidate Bhanwarlal Pujari and former MLA and independent Rajkumar Rinwan lost their deposits, as they got so few votes. Pusaram Godara who was contested as an independent came second position with a margin of just a few votes, getting around 59,320 votes.

    This large number of votes given to independent candidates has raised chances of Pusaram Godara in getting Congress ticket in 2023 elections. Already a member of Pradesh Congress Committee, Pusaram ji has started going to events along with his supporters, rallies to cover the important events in the area and taking part in state level events of Congress party. Pusaram was also a part of the Silent Satyagrah organized by the Congress party on Wednesday.

    Whereas, Abhinesh Maharshi, the current MLA from Ratangarh has done well initially but people have complained that he is out of touch with the public. Not meeting people, less interaction with the public, not resolving the issue of the public in his constituency, is the reason many expect an anti-incumbency in this year’s election.

    Although Rajasthan has not repeated the same government in power, but on local level, MLAs performance will decide the result. Now it has to be seen, who will Congress give the ticket. To a new candidate and repeat the same mistake or to Pusaram Godara, to rectify its mistake.

Rather advised them to put up hoardings of central schemes and not of leaders. Addressing the workers, he said, I tell all of you, never raise slogans for me. I am a common worker like you. The party wanted to hand over this responsibility to a worker. That’s why I have been made the president. The chairman has a role, but we all will work together.
