Jaipur, Oct 26: With assembly elections barely five weeks away election campaign in Rajasthan is yet to pick up as political parties are still in the process of selecting
candidates.
The ruling Congress and opposition BJP, the two main contenders, are carrying out the selection process in Delhi as state election committees of both the parties have been
meeting in the national capital.
Both the parties have selected their candidates for more than half of the 200 assembly seats, sources said adding, the list of candidates is likely to be announced in the first week of November. Filing of nomination papers is scheduled to begin on November 07.
Sources in Congress say there was consensus among the party over names of candidates for about 100 seats, mostly sitting members, in the state election committee meetings held in Delhi last week.
However, names would be given a final stamp of approval by Central Election Committee and parliamentary boards, party sources said. Similarly BJP has finalised candidates for about 100 seats
