With a track record of landslide victories in the last two general elections and a resounding triumph in the 2023 state polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party is primed for another decisive showing in Rajasthan’s 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. With its 25 parliamentary constituencies, the state has long been a battleground alternating between the BJP and the Congress. Often viewed as a harbinger of national trends, Rajasthan's electoral dynamics hold significant sway over the formation of the central government. Moreover, 21 BJP MPs currently hold office in the state’s 25 constituencies.
In the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP swept all 25 seats in Rajasthan, showcasing its formidable electoral machinery and resonating with the electorate. The party's stronghold was further reinforced in the 2023 state Assembly polls, where it secured a commanding majority, toppling the incumbent Congress government led by Ashok Gehlot.

Riding on the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and bolstered by robust organizational networks, the BJP aims to replicate its past successes in the 2024 elections. Contesting alone on all 25 seats, the BJP faces off against the Congress-led INDIA bloc, comprising regional parties like the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), CPI(M), and the Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP).
The BJP's campaign in Rajasthan is anchored on its track record of governance, development initiatives, and strong leadership. With a mammoth 59.07% vote share in the 2019 polls, the BJP exudes confidence in its ability to secure another resounding mandate from the electorate.The 2024 Lok Sabha Elections in Rajasthan will take place in two phases—on April 19 and April 26—and votes will be counted on June 4.
