While the BJP has released its first list and made progress in ticket distribution, the Congress is in no hurry. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot himself stated that the list will only come after October 18. Chief Minister Gehlot returned to Jaipur after a two-day visit to Delhi. In Delhi, he met with former Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday. He described this meeting as a courteous one.
In fact, this time, the Congress is adopting Rahul Gandhi’s formula for ticket distribution. Rahul Gandhi’s team has conducted a survey and prepared its list. The prepared list will be merged with the list prepared by Chief Minister Gehlot. Those names that match will be put on a separate list. After this, names that do not match will be reconciled with the screening committee and observer panels.
Then the final form of the candidates’ names will be given.This means that Congress does not want to take any risk that a weak candidate gets a ticket. According to the signals, the complete list of candidates in Rajasthan will be released in the last week of this month. First, the candidate list for Mizoram will be released, which will be followed by Chhattisgarh, and then Madhya Pradesh. The names of these states will be announced during Navratri. Tickets have been allocated to the current ministers and MLAs, and there are fewer expectations.
On the other hand, according to BJP sources, all the remaining names will be announced during Navratri. The BJP can give tickets to those who are coming into the party from the Congress, former officers, and those who lost with fewer votes last time in large numbers. Along with this, women will be given emphasis, but there will be only a slight increase compared to last time, and the 33% issue is not going to happen.
