In this charged atmosphere, the Congress finds itself facing an uphill battle in the Rajasthan Lok Sabha Elections 2024. However, the current scenario presents unique challenges for the Congress, as it navigates through a maze of internal turmoil and external pressures.
Rajasthan, historically a swing state, has witnessed political upheavals with power oscillating between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress after each election cycle. As the state braces for yet another electoral showdown, both parties are gearing up for a fierce battle to assert their dominance. The incumbent Congress government, led by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, finds itself navigating treacherous waters amid mounting challenges from the BJP, spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Congress's preparations for the Lok Sabha elections have been marred by internal turmoil, with confusion over candidate selection threatening to derail the party's prospects in key constituencies. The recent expulsion of two official candidates, Arvind Damore and Kapoor Singh, for refusing to withdraw their nominations has added to the party's woes, casting a shadow over its electoral strategy.

Moreover, the Congress has capitalized on defections from the BJP, with Rahul Kaswan, the incumbent MP from Churu, joining the grand old party and being fielded as its candidate from the same constituency. The denial of a ticket to Kaswan by the BJP, amidst internal feuds with senior leader Rajendra Rathore, has reshaped the electoral dynamics in Churu, transforming it into a fierce Jat vs. Rajput battle.
As the state prepares for the Lok Sabha elections, the political landscape remains fluid, with both BJP and Congress grappling for supremacy. 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. With the BJP's central leadership asserting control in the state and the Congress facing internal dissent, the electoral battle for Rajasthan's 25 parliamentary seats promises to be closely contested and politically consequential.
