The mandate of Rajasthan is clear. Defying the exit poll predictions of a close contest, BJP posted a massive victory over the ruling Congress.
Numerous factors contributed in the loss of Congress in Rajasthan and Gehlot-Pilot feud was one among them.
One of the main reasons for Congress' defeat is the infighting between two factions: Gehlot Vs Pilot.
Between 2019-2022, at least eight government recruitment exams were cancelled due to paper leaks. This enraged the youth who were already distressed.
BJP's campaign in the state was centred around women safety. The party portrayed the state as the worst in crime against women.
BJP pushed its polarisation agenda, raking up the murder of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya. BJP also slammed Congress for allowing PFI to hold rally there.
Congress was betting big on the caste census. RaGa's famous 'only 3 OBCs out of 90 officers that run the country' remark appears to have failed.
