Elections History

The election history of Rajasthan has been dominated by the Congress party and the BJP. From 1949 to 1977, INC was in power. Till 1962, its stronghold in Rajasthan was unchallenged. However since then, Janata Party, Swatantra Party and later BJP have challenged this dominance. In 1977, riding on the post-emergency anti-Congress sentiment, Janata Party led by Bhairon Singh Shekhawat assumed power.

After Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984, Congress regained popularity in 1985. In 1990, BJP won the elections but President's rule was declared in the state in 1992 after the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Since 1993, BJP and INC have been forming government alternately; with BJP winning 1993, 2003 and the recent 2013 elections, while Congress had won the 1998 and 2008 elections.

In the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party was dominant till 1971. But its fortune plummeted in 1977 and 1984. The BJP made its presence felt in the 1984 elections. However, 1989 elections was a watershed for the party as it won all 25 seats. In 1991 and 1999 elections, BJP lost some grounds but made a comeback in 2004 by winning 21 seats while INC got just four seats. In 2009 however, the electoral fortunes of the two parties reversed. INC won 20 seats while BJP won only four.

The next elections were conducted in 2014. This time the tables had again turned. The BJP did a clean sweep in the state of Rajasthan. They won all the 25 parliament constituencies that went to poll. This was second time in the history of Rajasthan that the BJP had won all the parliament seats. During the by-elections that happened in 2018, Congress regained some ground and won seats from Alwar and Ajmer. Later the member of parliament from Ajmer- Raghu Sharma (INC) resigned and hence the seat is vacant. Harish Meena (BJP) MP from Dausa also resigned and that seat has been vacant as well.
