BJP will corner AAP govt on public interest issues in Assembly:Gupta
The Leader of the Opposition said that this government has failed on every front.
The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and Congress announced names of candidates for by-polls in Vallabhnagar and Dhariawad assembly seats of Rajasthan on Thursday.
The by-polls are being held due to the demise of Congress MLA from Vallabhnagar in Udaipur, Gajendra Singh Shaktawat, and BJP MLA from Dhariawad in Pratapgarh, Gautam Lal Meena.
The Congress gave a ticket to Shaktawat’s wife Preeti Shaktawat in Vallabhnagar and fielded Nagraj Meena in Dhariawad against BJP’s Khet Singh.

The last date of filing the nomination is October 8.
Voting will be held on October 30 and counting of votes will take place on November 2.
