During the municipal election campaign, former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot arrived in Barmer, criticised the BJP and announced the Congress’s municipal election board.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot reached Barmer on Tuesday as the state’s municipal elections entered a crucial phase. He spent the day meeting local Congress workers and prospective candidates, reviewing the party’s ground strategy.
In a sharp address, Pilot accused the ruling BJP of neglecting the people of Barmer for the past two and a half years, describing the region as “suffering under the party’s policies.” He warned that the electorate’s patience was wearing thin ahead of the upcoming polls.
Concluding his visit, Pilot announced that the Congress has finalized its municipal election board for the Barmer district, signalling the party’s readiness to contest the local body elections with a coordinated team.
The statements come as both major parties intensify their campaigns across Rajasthan, with the municipal polls seen as a bellwether for the upcoming state assembly elections.
