Rajasthan Elections: BJP to Impose Restrictions

With the voting for the legislative assembly elections concluded, the fate of the candidates is now sealed in the EVMs. The results, determining the winners and losers, will be revealed on December 3. However, to avoid any untoward incidents, the BJP has decided to impose restrictions on legislators after the results. Senior leaders of the state will meet in the next one or two days to outline the restrictions. Afterward, party candidates will be informed of these guidelines.

According to sources, if the party attains a clear majority, the newly elected legislators may be accommodated in a hotel or resort in Jaipur or its vicinity. If a complete majority is not secured, legislators from outside the state might also be housed. The party has not officially announced the face for the Chief Minister this time, and as a precaution, the party is placing restrictions on legislators. During these restrictions, legislators will be briefed on the party's policies and strategies. If the party secures a complete majority, the name of the Chief Minister will also be decided in this hotel. The Parliamentary Board will then stamp the name.

The party is optimistic due to the increased voter turnout this time. Approximately 75% voter turnout is expected, and the BJP hopes for a complete majority. In the 2018 elections, the voter turnout was 74.71%, a slight decrease from the 75.23% in 2013. The party believes that the increased voter turnout this time will work in its favor and aims for victory.
