The Election Commission of India changed the poll dates of Rajasthan Assembly elections from November 23 to November 25. The counting of votes will take place on 3 December. The Congress began its election campaign for the upcoming assembly election in Rajasthan on October 16 with "Kaam Kiya Dil se, Congress Sarkar Phir se" as its slogan. The Rajasthan Assembly consists of 200 constituencies that will be contested. Since its formation, the state has been dominated by the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Congress secured a victory in the last elections in 2018 with 101 seats. (ANI)
