The Congress is likely to replace up to 30% of its sitting MLAs in the coming Rajasthan Assembly election, the party’s State unit president, Govind Singh Dotasra, told The Hindu on Sunday.
Mr. Dotasra mocked the BJP for fielding “failed” MPs in the Assembly election to deflect an anti-incumbency trend against the Union government ahead of the Lok Sabha election in 2024.
Since 1998, Rajasthan has seen incumbent governments losing power in every election, but Mr. Dotasra claimed that the Congress would buck this trend on the back of welfare schemes the Gehlot government had launched in the State.
