BJP Fields Eight Muslim Candidates Amidst Candidate Selection Challenges in Jaipur Polls
Ahead of Rajasthan's Jaipur municipal elections, the BJP has nominated eight Muslim candidates, marking a shift from previous polls where few were fielded. This move aims to expand BJP's reach in Muslim-majority and Congress-stronghold wards. Meanwhile, both BJP and Congress face internal challenges finalizing candidates, with protests and dissatisfaction reported. Polling for 150 wards is scheduled for September 9 and 11, with results expected on September 14 and the mayoral election a week later.
