BJP has nominated Anamika Sharma, the first councilor elected from Ward 3, as its mayoral candidate for the Ajmer Municipal Corporation after she filed her nomination on Wednesday.
The Ajmer Municipal Corporation is gearing up for its mayoral election as the Bharatiya Janata Party announced its candidate on Wednesday. Anamika Sharma, who made history by becoming the first elected councilor from Ward 3, has been selected to contest the mayor’s post on behalf of the party. Sharma filed her nomination paperwork on the same day, formalising her candidacy.
Her selection marks a notable shift for the BJP in Ajmer, highlighting the party’s focus on promoting leaders with grassroots experience. As the first councilor from Ward 3, Sharma’s rise reflects growing political participation from previously under‑represented areas of the city.
The upcoming mayoral poll will determine the leadership of Ajmer’s civic body, with the BJP hoping Sharma’s local credentials will resonate with voters across the municipality.
