5 MLAs of Rajasthan have been elected as MPs in the Lok Sabha election in 2024 thus these five seats will become vacant. Therefore, by-elections will be held again on these five assembly seats in the next six months.
There were only 199 MLAs in the state assembly for some time. The by-election was held on the vacant Bagidaura constituency along with the Lok Sabha elections. A new MLA was elected to this seat. But the five MLAs contesting the Lok Sabha elections won the elections. Because of this, once again 195 MLAs will be left in the Rajasthan state assembly.
A total of seven MLAs were contesting in the Lok Sabha elections. All these MLAs contested the elections from Congress and its alliance. BJP has not given tickets to any MLA. Of the five MLAs who have won, three are from Congress, one from RLP and one from BAP.
Mahendjit Singh Malviya had resigned from the Bagidaura constituency. Due to this a by-election was held on this seat. Furthermore, BAP candidate Jaikrishna Patel has won from the Bagidaura constituency. Malviya had become an MLA on the Congress symbol. Before the Lok Sabha elections, he resigned from the Congress and joined the BJP. Because of this, this seat became vacant.
