Among other Congress leaders, the second list has names Vishvendra Singh, Raghu Sharma and Sanyam Lodha. In the previous list, the party fielded senior leaders CP Joshi, Govind Singh Dotasara and Krishna Poonia.

Rajastan will go to single-phase polls on November 25. The counting will be done on December 3.

The upcoming election is believeed to be crucial for the Congress, as the party seeks to hold fast its its position in the state, which is likely to get complicated by the disagreement between Gehlot and Pilot. However, both the senior leaders are seemingly headed for reconciliation after several attempts of discussions in the presence of senior leaders in Delhi.
