Rajasthan Congress Alleges BJP Misuse of Administration Ahead of Panchayat Polls
Ahead of Rajasthan's Panchayati Raj elections, the Congress party alleges that the BJP-led state government is misusing administrative machinery to target opposition candidates by collecting detailed information to potentially disqualify or harass them. Congress leaders, including Govind Singh Dotasra, have warned officials against such practices, citing past municipal election incidents. Meanwhile, internal Congress disputes have surfaced, with allegations of irregularities in ticket distribution and recruitment involving Dotasra's family members. The State Election Commission has stated no complaints have been received and will investigate if any arise.
