Announcement of by-election dates possible today
Congress has announced these names at a time when the Election Commission is going to announce the dates of by-elections. Today at 3:30 pm, the press conference of the Election Commission will start at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi, in which the dates of elections for the assembly seats of Maharashtra and Jharkhand will be announced. Besides, the dates of by-elections to be held on 50 assembly seats across the country can also be announced.
The biggest challenge before Congress
There are 5 out of 7 assembly seats in Rajasthan which have become vacant due to the MLA becoming MP. Whereas the other two seats have become vacant due to the death of the sitting MLA. Out of these 7 seats, 4 were held by Congress, 1 by BJP, 1 by RLD and the other one was held by father. Now by-elections are going to be held on these seats, and all the parties are making their respective claims of victory on them. Discussion is going on on the selection of candidates between Congress and BJP. Whereas BAP and RLD have already refused to form an alliance. This time the biggest challenge before Congress is to save its 4 seats. That is why this contest has become interesting.
