While Gehlot will contest from Jodhpur, Jitendra Singh and Manvendra Singh will contest from Alwar and Barmer respectively.
Ahead of the Rajasthan Assembly Election late in 2018, Manvendra Singh had joined the Congress after meeting party chief Rahul Gandhi. “Kamal ka Phool Badi Bhool’, he had said then, claiming that going with the BJP’s election symbol, the lotus, was a “big mistake”.
The election to the 543-member Lok Sabha will held in seven phases from 11 April to 19 May. The counting will take place on 23 May.
