OLYMPIAN RATHORE EYES PODIUM FINISH IN JHOTWARA
The Sunday Guardian
|October 29, 2023
The BJP has now given the task of winning back the Jhotwara Assembly seat to Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.
Rajasthan's Jhotwara Assembly constituency falls under the Jaipur Rural Lok Sabha constituency which is currently represented by BJP's Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, nicknamed "Chilly". Rathore had won the parliamentary election with a margin of 2,93,171 votes by trouncing Congress candidate Krishna Poonia. The BJP has now given the task of winning back the Jhotwara Assembly seat to its sitting MP from the area.
The desert state's Opposition party is hoping that Rathore's presence in the campaign would energise the party workers in all the seven Assembly constituencies under his parliamentary seat.
Rathore, an Olympian and former serviceman, is vocal about the sufferings of the people of the state due to poor governance. He has alleged that governance, especially the law and order situation, has been a casualty in the power struggle between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his party colleague Sachin Pilot.
In the last Assembly election in 2018, the Congress prevented the BJP from recording a hat-trick on the Jhotwara seat and wrested the constituency from the saffron party after 10 years.
