In Rajasthan’s Ajmer Lok Sabha constituency, veteran Congress leader Ram Chandra Choudhary and incumbent BJP MP Bhagirath Choudhary are locked in a close contest. Both candidates are attempting to woo voters from Gujjar and Dalit communities, who hold sway in several Assembly segments. The Congress is counting on Ram Chandra’s popularity among farmers and cattle rearers, while the BJP is banking on its recent victory in seven of the eight Assembly segments in the Lok Sabha seat. The political dynamics in Ajmer have witnessed a shift between the Congress and the BJP over the last three decades, making it difficult for either party to claim a stronghold. Issues such as water scarcity, lack of industries, poor road connectivity, and absence of sewage systems in villages remain key concerns for the voters.
