In addition to Gunjal, the Congress nominated Ramchandra Choudhary for Ajmer, Sudarshan Rawat for Rajsamand, Damodar Gurjar for Bhilwara, and C Robert Bruce for Tirunelveli.

Gunjal officially joined the Congress in Jaipur last Thursday, marking his transition in the presence of former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra. Gunjal, known for his outspokenness, previously served as MLA for Kota North twice, although he faced defeat in the last Assembly elections. His inclusion is anticipated to bolster the Congress’s standing in the Hadoti region.

With this announcement, the Congress has finalised 190 candidates for the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections set to commence on April 19.
