After changing Jaipur nominee, Congress to announce new candidate for Rajsamand LS seat

After changing its nominee for the Jaipur City Lok Sabha seat, the Congress is set to announce a new candidate in Rajasthan’s Rajsamand constituency following Sudarshan Singh Rawat’s refusal to contest the Lok Sabha election. Rajsamand will go to polls on April 26, the second phase of the Lok Sabha election.

The Congress announced Mr. Rawat’s candidature on March 25. However, the former MLA from Bhim, who is 51, said a young leader should get the opportunity.

Jaipur candidate Sunil Sharma was dropped on March 24 after it emerged that he was allegedly associated with a right-wing forum. Congress has now fielded former minister Pratap Singh Khachariya in his place.
