Jaipur, November 18: The state of Rajasthan is all set to go to polls on Saturday, November 25. The 200-member Rajasthan assembly will go to vote in a single phase. While several critical seats exist in the Rajasthan assembly, the Jhalrapatan assembly constituency holds great importance. Wonder why? The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded former Chief Minister and sitting MLA Vasundhara Raje, who will be up against Congress leader Ram Lal Chouhan.

The Jhalrapatan assembly constituency comes under the Jhalawar district of Rajasthan State and falls under the Jhalawar-baran Lok Sabha constituency. The Jhalrapatan assembly constituency will see a direct fight between the ruling Congress party and the opposition BJP. While the voting will occur on November 25, the votes will be counted on December 3. As both candidates gear to face each other, let's look at the past results of the Rajasthan Vidhan Sabha seat. Rajasthan Assembly Election 2023: From Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot to Divya Maderna and CP Joshi, List of Key Candidates of Congress and Their Constituencies.
