Polling commenced on Friday morning for the second and final phase of the Rajasthan local body elections, with voting underway across six municipal corporations, 20 municipal councils and 121 municipalities.
In Jodhpur city, around 7.12 lakh voters are eligible to exercise their franchise. A total of 729 polling booths have been established, with 385 candidates in the fray. Over the next 10 years, Jaipur is set to become the most magnificent city in the entire country, and that process has already begun. In older parts of Jaipur—on the other side of the Jhotwara bypass—where the sewerage system had aged, a complete overhaul is taking place under the Amrut 2.0 scheme. Every single rupee of the country’s money, whether from the central government or the state government, is reaching the ground 100 per cent.
Voters expressed satisfaction with the arrangements made for the smooth conduct of polling. Meanwhile, Rajasthan cabinet minister Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore reached the polling booth at Gurukul Vidya Mandir Senior Secondary School on Sirsi Road in Jaipur to cast his vote. “A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) board will definitely be formed in Jaipur. Meanwhile, outside the bypass, drainage systems, sewerage lines, roads, and water tanks are all being constructed. This is the hallmark of the Bharatiya Janata Party, and the public is well aware of it.
Speaking to reporters, Rathore expressed confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party would win the Rajasthan civic polls and said development works were being carried out using funds from both the Centre and the state government. Across the entire state where elections are taking place, the BJP will undoubtedly gain an edge,” said Cabinet Minister Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore.
Polling is being held from 7 am to 6 pm across 147 municipal bodies, comprising six municipal corporations, 20 municipal councils and 121 municipalities, according to state election commissioner Rajeshwar Singh.
