Notably, the BJP has nominated several MPs without disclosing its chief ministerial contenders.

Smaller parties like Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM and the Aam Aadmi Party are also contesting the elections.

A total of 1,875 candidates, including 183 women, are vying for the 199 assembly seats. The BJP has anchored its campaign on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s credibility, anticipating victory, while the Congress is aiming to break away from the established trend.

Sachin Pilot remains steadfast in his pursuit of the Chief Minister’s position, while Gehlot has expressed interest in continuing as the CM if the party secures a win.
