Tripura: Thief cuts own hand to evade arrest, held from hospital bed
Digital Desk | Agartala, Sep 15 (IANS) In a bizarre development, a professional thief, accused of stealing a motorcycle and snatching a gold chain from an elderly woman, allegedly cut his own hand to evade arrest and got himself admitted to a hospital, but police eventually apprehended him from his hospital bed on Tuesday, officials said. Two bike-borne thieves snatched a gold necklace, valued at Rs 1.75 lakh, from an elderly woman in the Bankumari area on the outskirts of Agartala city on September 11. The incident took place early in the morning on September 11 when the elderly woman, Gita Rani Das (Deb), was out for a morning walk with a neighbour in the Bankumari area. She later lodged a complaint with the East Agartala police station, following which an investigation was launched. Police, led by Officer-in-Charge of the East Agartala police station, Krishnadhan Sarkar, launched an intensive investigation to nab the thieves. Police had earlier detained one of the thieves and impounded the motorcycle allegedly used in the broad-daylight snatching of the gold chain. The motorcycle had also allegedly been stolen by the duo earlier. However, the alleged mastermind of the crime was still at large. Police examined CCTV footage from the area, which showed two helmet-wearing persons riding a motorcycle and allegedly snatching the woman's necklace. Acting on information gathered during the investigation, a police team led by Sarkar, an inspector-rank police official, conducted search operations at several places in and around the state capital. Finally, the alleged mastermind of the crime was arrested from the Agartala Government Medical College and Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital, where he had got himself admitted after reportedly cutting his right hand to evade arrest. The main accused in the case had allegedly sold the stolen necklace at a jewellery shop in Agartala. A series of gold chain-snatching incidents have taken place in various districts of Tripura in recent months. Recently, two youths from Bihar were arrested for allegedly snatching a gold chain from an elderly woman in West Tripura district. According to police, the two accused entered the house of Radha Rani Debbarma on the pretext of cleaning utensils when no male member of the family was present. The duo allegedly snatched a gold chain from the woman and fled on a motorcycle, police said. In another incident, two women were arrested and nine stolen gold chains worth around Rs 22 lakh were recovered following a series of chain-snatching incidents during the Rath Yatra festival in southern Tripuras Gomati district, police officials said. The thefts took place during the annual Rath Yatra at the historic Jagannath Bari in Udaipur, which drew a large number of devotees.
Raj civic poll results: BJP retains top spot; lesser vote share gap with Cong sends notice
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 15 (IANS) The BJP may have emerged as the larger winner in Rajasthans urban local body elections, but the numbers tell a more complicated political story. With the BJP securing 35.30 per cent of the vote against 34.36 per cent for Congress, the gap between the two principal parties is just 0.94 percentage points, a margin too narrow to ignore ahead of the 2028 Assembly elections. On the surface, the Rajasthan civic election results appear to favour the BJP. It has won more seats and secured clear majorities in more urban local bodies than Congress. But beneath that headline result lies a political contest that is far tighter than the seat tally suggests. The narrow gap in voting percentage is perhaps the most politically significant number to emerge from the elections. The results were expected to provide an early indication of Rajasthans urban political mood ahead of the 2028 Assembly elections. Instead, they have produced a mixed verdict: the BJP has the organisational and seat advantage, but the Congress remains firmly in the contest in terms of popular support. And then there is the third force, the Independents. Independent candidates collectively secured 27.47 per cent of the vote, underlining the extent to which local political equations remain fragmented and candidate-driven. The RLP secured 0.95 per cent, AAP 0.47 per cent, CPI(M) 0.32 per cent, BSP 0.29 per cent, and BAP 0.13 per cent vote share. The numbers suggest that Rajasthans urban electorate has not consolidated completely behind either of the two major parties. The BJP secured a clear majority in 85 civic bodies, compared with 45 for the Congress party. Independents and other parties crossed the majority mark in another 34 bodies. That leaves 145 of Rajasthans 309 urban local bodies without a clear majority. This is where the election moves from a simple winner-loser contest into a political bargaining exercise. In these 145 bodies, Independents could determine who controls the municipal boards. The BJP and Congress now face the same challenge: turning electoral leads into political majorities. For both parties, the scramble for Independents is not merely about municipal boards. It is also about demonstrating political momentum. For the BJP, the task is to ensure that its advantage in seats translates into control on the ground. For Congress, the opportunity is to convert its narrow vote-share deficit into political gains wherever the BJP lacks the numbers to govern on its own. The battle after the election could therefore prove almost as important as the battle during it. The contest becomes particularly significant in the municipal corporations. Of Rajasthans 10 municipal corporations, the BJP has secured clear majorities in Jaipur, Kota, Udaipur and Bhilwara, while Congress has a majority in Bikaner. But five corporations remain politically unsettled: Bharatpur, Pali, Alwar, Ajmer and Jodhpur. Jodhpur is the clearest example of the new political arithmetic. The BJP and Congress have 44 councillors each, leaving Independents in a potentially decisive position. The message from Jodhpur is stark: neither major party can take control for granted. Bharatpur presents another test, with Independents positioned to influence the formation of the board. In Alwar, the BJP has the advantage but falls short of a majority. In Ajmer and Pali, Congress is ahead but still needs additional support. These contests could become early laboratories for the political strategies the two parties take for the 2028 Assembly election. The political significance of the results extends well beyond the municipal corporations. There is no clear BJP or Congress majority in 18 municipal councils and 122 municipalities. That means the Independent councillor has emerged as one of the most important political actors in Rajasthans post-election landscape. For the BJP, winning over Independents will be critical to consolidating its seat advantage. For the Congress, these same councillors offer an opportunity to challenge the BJP dominance in closely fought bodies. The coming days could therefore see intense negotiations, outreach and realignment at the local level. The question is not simply who won the most seats. It is who can assemble the numbers to govern. These civic elections were conducted against the backdrop of the One State-One Election concept, but their political implications go far beyond municipal administration. The BJP can point to its larger seat tally and stronger performance across several major urban centres. Congress, however, can point to a vote share of only 0.94 percentage points behind the ruling party. If the BJP succeeds in converting its leads into stable civic administrations, it will strengthen its claim that its organisational machinery remains dominant in Rajasthans urban centres. If the Congress manages to capture boards in a significant number of hung bodies by bringing Independents into its camp, it could present the results as evidence that the BJPs electoral advantage is narrower than the seat count suggests. The Independent councillor, meanwhile, could become the unlikely protagonist of this political contest. For now, the Rajasthan civic verdict has delivered neither a decisive BJP sweep nor a Congress revival. It has produced something more politically interesting: a BJP advantage, a closely trailing Congress, and 145 civic bodies where the final winner is yet to be determined. And with 2028 on the horizon, Rajasthans municipal arithmetic may prove to be an early warning -- or an early opportunity -- for both sides.
Mourning the Loss of Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari of Mewar: A Pillar of Udaipurs Social Fabric
Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari of Mewar passes away at 83, leaving a legacy of education and social service in Udaipur and beyond. Mourning the Loss of Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari of Mewar: A Pillar of Udaipurs Social Fabric
Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari Mewar passes away; Udaipur mourns end of an era
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 15 (IANS) A pall of grief has descended over Udaipur, Rajasthan, and the wider Mewar region following the death of Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari Mewar, a member of the former Mewar royal family. She passed away late on Monday at the age of 83 after a prolonged illness. Her death has prompted an outpouring of condolences across Udaipur, Mewar and Marwar, with admirers from across India and abroad, social organisations and political leaders paying tribute to her life and legacy. Remembered for her warmth, dignity and commitment to public welfare, Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari made significant contributions to education and social service, particularly in Udaipur. Her passing marks the end of an era for a figure who remained closely associated with the citys cultural and social identity. Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari belonged to one of Indias most distinguished royal lineages. She was born into the former royal family of Kutch in Gujarat and was the younger daughter of Maharaj Fateh Singh of Kutch and granddaughter of the Maharao of Kutch. Following her marriage, she became a member of the former royal family of Mewar and the wife of the late Arvind Singh Mewar. She was also the mother of Dr Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, a prominent social worker and educationist who represents the present generation of the Mewar family. Throughout her life, Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari balanced her family responsibilities with a deep commitment to preserving Mewars traditions and its longstanding ethos of public service. Her affectionate demeanour, combined with a strong sense of responsibility, earned her respect both within the royal family and among people across Udaipur. Education was among the most enduring aspects of Rajmata Vijayraj Kumaris public life. She received her early education at the Franciscan Convent School in Ooty, an experience that gave her a modern outlook while grounding her in strong values. After settling in Udaipur, she took a keen interest in expanding access to education and supporting initiatives aimed at womens empowerment. Her association with Maharana Mewar Public School (MMPS) became particularly significant. During the 1980s, she played an important role in the institutions development and transformation, helping guide it towards a modern, disciplined and quality-focused educational model. Her contribution to the institution left a lasting impact, with generations of students going on to pursue higher education and professional careers. For those who knew her closely, education was not simply an institution-building exercise for Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari -- it was a means of creating opportunities and shaping the future of young people. Following her death, the royal family and the administration have made arrangements for her final rites in accordance with established traditions. Her funeral procession departed in the morning from Shambhu Niwas Palace in the City Palace complex in Udaipur. A large number of citizens, members of social organisations and dignitaries gathered at the palace to pay their final respects before the procession proceeded to Mahasatiyaji at Ahar, the historic royal cremation ground of the Mewar family. Her last rites are being performed there in accordance with traditional rituals, with a royal guard of honour. The scenes surrounding her final journey reflected the deep connection she had built with the people of Udaipur over the decades. A series of condolence gatherings, known as Tiye ki Baithak, will be held in memory of Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari Mewar. According to official information, the meetings will be held daily from September 16 to September 23, between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., at Shambhu Niwas Palace in the City Palace complex. Rajmata Vijayraj Kumari Mewars life was shaped by two powerful themes: tradition and service. While she remained a custodian of the heritage and traditions associated with the Mewar family, her work in education and social welfare reflected a forward-looking vision. For Udaipur, her passing is therefore more than the death of a member of a former royal family. It is the loss of a woman who, over several decades, became part of the citys social and cultural fabric.
BJP leads Rajasthan civic polls, wins Jaipur MC board; independents emerge key players
The Bharatiya Janata Party leads Rajasthan urban local body elections, securing the Jaipur Municipal Corporation board. Independent candidates are emerging as key players in several civic bodies without clear majorities. Counting is complete in eight of ten municipal corporations across Rajasthan. The BJP is set to form boards in Jaipur, Kota, Udaipur, and Bhilwara.
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 14 (IANS) The results of elections to 10 municipal corporations in Rajasthan were declared on Monday. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a majority in Jaipur, Udaipur, Bhilwara and Kota, while Congress secured a clear majority in Bikaner. Independent candidates are set to play a crucial role in board formation in Pali, Ajmer, Bharatpur and Jodhpur. Congress emerged as the largest party in Pali and Ajmer, while the BJP was the single-largest party in Alwar. Jodhpur witnessed a close contest between Congress and the BJP, while Independents emerged as the largest group in Bharatpur. Results for four wards in Jaipur and one ward in Jodhpur have been withheld due to re-polling. The results for these wards will be declared after the re-poll. Congress candidate Gazanfar Ali registered Rajasthan's biggest victory in Jaipur, winning Ward number 113 by a margin of 10,014 votes. In the high-profile Ward number 112, BJP candidate and former Jaipur Mayor Jyoti Khandelwal lost the election. Former state BJP spokesperson Vimal Katiyar also lost from Ward number 35 by 1,461 votes. Congress city district president Omkar Verma lost from Ward number 42 by 279 votes. In Ward number 51, 21-year-old Congress candidate Saraswati Prajapat won the election. Meanwhile, national-level football player and BJP candidate Vikas Raghwani won from Ward number 28. In Ward number 99, BJP candidate Nikita defeated former Congress Mayor Kunti Deora. Hitanshi Sharma, the daughter-in-law of the brother of former Union Minister Girija Vyas, won from Ward number 73. Poonam Kunwar, the wife of Udaipur city Congress president Fateh Singh Rathore, won from Ward number 17. Atul Chandaliya and Akash Vagrecha, brothers of the sons-in-law of Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, won from Ward numbers 78 and 5, respectively. Results for 99 of the 100 wards in the Jodhpur Municipal Corporation have been declared. Congress and the BJP have won 44 seats each. Independents secured 10 seats, while one seat went to a candidate from the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP). The result for one ward has been withheld and will be declared after a re-poll at one of the booths. With Congress and the BJP tied at 44 seats each, Independent Councillors are likely to play a decisive role in the race for the Mayor's post. Following the Rajasthan civic body results, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and State BJP President Madan Rathore celebrated with party workers at the state BJP office. Supporters of Independent candidate Vikram Singh, who won from Ward number 29 in Jaipur, also celebrated his victory. BJP candidate Sunil Kothari's supporters celebrated his victory from Ward number 112 of the Jaipur Municipal Corporation. Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot accused the BJP government of using police pressure to influence Congress and Independent Councillors following the civic body poll results. Gehlot on social media platform X said that the BJP, attled by its defeat in the urban body elections, was allegedly attempting to influence Independent and Congress Councillors in Jodhpur and Alwar to secure Mayoral posts. He also alleged that the BJP was misusing the police to achieve this. State BJP President Madan Rathore described the election results as public approval of the state government's development work. He said the BJP had received wo-and-a-half to three times more support than last time and claimed that the party had achieved 90 per cent success in the municipal corporations. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma also termed the civic poll results an endorsement of the state government's work over the past two-and-a-half years under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He dedicated the victory to the people and BJP workers. Re-polling will be held at five polling booths in the Jaipur Municipal Corporation area following technical malfunctions in EVMs. The booths are Number 111 in Ward number 9, Number 235 in Ward number 18, Number 343 in Ward number 25, and Booth numbers 477 and 484 in Ward number 34. The votes from these booths could not be counted due to the technical problems. The re-poll will determine the final results in the affected wards. Results for Rajasthan's 47 municipal councils and 252 municipalities were also declared on Monday. The results will determine the political balance in the state's urban local bodies, followed by contests for the posts of Chairpersons and Presidents. Key results from Bikaner, Kota, Udaipur, Alwar, Ajmer, Bharatpur, Pali and Bhilwara have emerged as important indicators of the political strength of the BJP, Congress and Independent candidates across Rajasthan.

Beyond the Hospital: How Paras Health Is Reimagining Indias Healthcare Story
There are places in India that are defined by their geography, and then there are places that seem to transcend it. Kashmir is one such place. Its beauty has been immortalised in poetry for centuries. The timeless Kashmiri verse Agar firdaus bar r-ye zamn ast, hamn ast-o hamn ast-o hamn ast reminds us that if paradise exists on earth, it is here. But Kashmirs story is not only one of beauty. It is also a story of resilience, aspiration and an enduring belief in the power of human connection. It is against this backdrop that Paras Health Srinagar completed three years a milestone that is about much more than the passage of time. It is about trust earned, lives touched, families supported and a healthcare institution becoming part of the social fabric of the community it serves. That journey also reflects a much larger story unfolding across India: the transformation of healthcare from a predominantly metropolitan privilege into a more accessible, decentralised and community-oriented service. From a Vision to a Healthcare Movement When Paras Health began its journey in Gurugram in 2006, the proposition was both ambitious and deeply relevant: quality healthcare should not be restricted by geography or income. Nearly two decades later, that proposition has grown into a healthcare network spanning cities including Gurugram, Patna, Ranchi, Panchkula, Udaipur, Kanpur, Darbhanga and Srinagar. The geography matters. For years, Indias most sophisticated medical capabilities were concentrated in a handful of metropolitan centres. Patients from smaller cities and towns often had to travel long distances, leaving behind their families, livelihoods and familiar surroundings simply to access specialised treatment. The emergence of healthcare institutions in newer geographies is changing that equation. Paras Healths expansion represents this broader shift bringing specialised medical expertise, modern infrastructure and clinical capabilities closer to the people who need them. The result is not merely greater convenience. It is greater confidence. A family that once had to look hundreds of kilometres away for advanced medical care can increasingly find that care closer to home. That is what makes healthcare infrastructure meaningful: not the size of a building, but the distance it removes between a patient and hope. Healthcare Is Ultimately About Trust Indias healthcare aspirations are changing rapidly. Patients today are more informed. They expect clinical excellence, but they also expect something equally fundamental dignity. They want to be heard. They want transparency. They want accessibility. They want compassion. Technology can make diagnosis faster. Infrastructure can make treatment more sophisticated. But neither can replace the human relationship at the centre of medicine. A hospital, therefore, is not simply an institution where procedures are performed. It is where families arrive carrying anxiety, uncertainty and, often, their deepest fears. The true measure of a healthcare institution lies in what happens next. Does the patient feel cared for? Does the family feel supported? Does the institution remain compassionate when the situation becomes difficult? This is where Paras Healths philosophy of Care Beyond Medicine acquires significance. The phrase is not merely about clinical treatment. It speaks to the larger responsibility of healthcare to make people feel that they are not alone. The Courage to Go Beyond the Metros There is an important lesson in Paras Healths journey. Healthcare transformation cannot happen if excellence remains concentrated in Indias largest cities. The countrys healthcare ecosystem can grow sustainably only when capacity expands outward into emerging cities, regional centres and communities that have historically depended on metropolitan hospitals. This is where institutions such as Paras Health can play a catalytic role. Every new hospital creates more than beds and operating rooms. It creates employment, develops clinical talent, strengthens allied healthcare services, encourages local medical ecosystems and gives patients a reason to seek advanced treatment closer to home. It can also reduce the enormous economic and emotional cost of medical travel. In that sense, the expansion of a healthcare network becomes part of the larger story of nation-building. India does not merely need more hospitals. It needs stronger healthcare ecosystems. And ecosystems are built through connectivity between doctors and institutions, technology and patients, expertise and geography, and most importantly, between healthcare and the communities it serves. The Leadership Behind the Journey At the centre of this journey stands Managing Director Dr. Dharminder Nagar, whose leadership has been shaped by a belief that hospitals are ultimately built on values. Infrastructure can be constructed. Technology can be acquired. Systems can be replicated. Trust cannot. Trust has to be earned, often slowly and one patient at a time. The decision to expand beyond established metropolitan markets requires a different kind of leadership one willing to accept uncertainty, understand local needs and remain committed long enough for an institution to become part of the community. The Paras Health story has been built in that spirit: patiently, persistently and with a long-term view. Brick by brick. Life by life. Trust by trust. PARAS Health Srinagar: More Than a Hospital Three years in Srinagar have given this philosophy a particularly meaningful context. Kashmir is a region where healthcare is intertwined with geography, accessibility and community confidence. Establishing advanced healthcare infrastructure here is therefore not simply a business decision; it carries a wider social significance. Over these three years, Paras Health Srinagar has sought to establish itself not merely as a hospital, but as a dependable healthcare destination for patients and families. Every doctor who chooses service over convenience, every nurse who offers reassurance during a difficult moment, and every member of the support team who keeps the institution functioning contributes to that larger mission. The visible story of a hospital is often told through its buildings, technology and medical departments. The invisible story is told through the people. Through the late-night calls. The anxious families. The difficult diagnoses. The small victories. The moments when a patient's recovery brings an entire household back to hope. That is the real architecture of healthcare. There is another, less discussed dimension to building healthcare ecosystems in India: institutions become part of the everyday life of the communities around them. A hospital does not exist in isolation. It supports doctors, nurses, technicians, pharmacists, ambulance services, diagnostic networks, hospitality teams, food and nutrition services, maintenance staff, local vendors and countless other allied sectors. Even something as simple as a patient's meal carries a larger message. Hospital food is not merely about calories. It is about nutrition, recovery, cultural familiarity and dignity. A thoughtfully prepared meal can become a small but powerful expression of care at a time when a patient may feel most vulnerable. From clinical expertise to nutrition, from technology to housekeeping, from emergency care to the cup of tea offered to an anxious attendant healthcare is an ecosystem of thousands of human interactions. That ecosystem is precisely what India must continue to strengthen. And organisations such as Paras Health can contribute to that evolution not only by adding hospitals, but by creating platforms where medical talent, technology, employment, training and community healthcare can grow together. The Next Frontier Is Human Indias healthcare story is entering an exciting phase. Artificial intelligence, robotics, telemedicine, advanced diagnostics and digital health will undoubtedly reshape medicine. But the more healthcare becomes technologically sophisticated, the more important the human element may become. Because patients do not experience healthcare as data. They experience it as people. A doctor explaining a diagnosis. A nurse holding a hand. A family waiting outside an operating theatre. A reassuring voice at the other end of a phone. A meal served when someone is too tired to think about food. A hospital that makes a difficult day feel slightly less frightening. These moments rarely appear in annual reports, but they define healthcare more profoundly than statistics ever can. As Allama Iqbal wrote, Sitaron se aage jahaan aur bhi hain there are worlds beyond the stars. The thought is fitting for an institution that continues to look beyond the conventional boundaries of healthcare. The future is not simply about building more hospitals. It is about building greater trust. It is about making excellence accessible. It is about developing healthcare talent beyond the traditional centres of medicine. And it is about ensuring that geography does not determine the quality of care a person can receive. From Paradise to Partnership Kashmir has long been described as paradise. But paradise, in the modern sense, cannot be measured only by mountains, lakes and gardens. A truly healthy society is one in which people can access quality healthcare with dignity and confidence. That is the larger promise of healthcare institutions that choose to invest beyond the metros. Three years of Paras Health Srinagar is therefore one chapter in a much bigger Indian story a story about decentralising excellence, strengthening regional healthcare and bringing the promise of modern medicine closer to ordinary families. Perhaps the most appropriate way to describe that journey is not as a destination, but as a partnership. A partnership between doctors and patients. Between institutions and communities. Between technology and humanity. And between healthcare and the India that is steadily building a healthier future. The journey is far from over. But if the first three years of Paras Health Srinagar are any indication, the next chapter can be measured not simply in infrastructure created or services delivered, but in something much more enduring; the number of lives that leave the hospital carrying not just treatment, but hope. And perhaps that is the finest definition of Care Beyond Medicine. Seema Vig is a Senior Vice President and Regional Director, PARAS Health. She could be reached at seemavig@parashospitals.com

Rajasthan: As rain returns, yellow alert issued for Alwar, Dholpur
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 11 (IANS) The monsoon is showing signs of becoming active again in Rajasthan, with a fresh spell of rain expected to begin in parts of eastern Rajasthan from Friday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings for thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds of 30-40 kmph in several districts. A yellow alert has been issued for districts including Alwar, Baran, Bharatpur, Dausa, Deeg, Dholpur, Jhalawar, Karauli, Khairthal-Tijara, Kota, Kotputli-Behror, and Sawai Madhopur. Light to moderate rainfall is likely in parts of the Bharatpur, Jaipur, and Kota divisions on September 11. In Jaipur and surrounding areas, clouds may build during the afternoon, with thunderstorms and rain possible at some locations. However, rainfall is not expected to be uniform across the entire district or division. Rainfall activity is expected to increase across parts of the Jaipur, Bharatpur, Kota, Ajmer, and Udaipur divisions between September 12 and 16. Several districts, including Alwar, Dholpur, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur, Tonk, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar, Bhilwara, Chittorgarh, Pratapgarh, Banswara, Dungarpur, and Rajsamand, may receive light to moderate rain during this period.

Crossing party lines, rebels and rows: Rajasthan civic polls take a dramatic turn
Jaipur, Sep 7 (IANS) Rajasthan's urban local body elections are producing scenes that go far beyond the usual Bharatiya Janata Party-versus-Congress contest. In the final days before voting, party lines appear blurred in some wards, political friendships are taking centre stage in others, while rebellion, protests and unusual campaign tactics are adding drama to the electoral battle. From Nathdwara to Sikar, Kota to Jodhpur and Dungarpur to Jaipur, the campaign trail has witnessed everything from a BJP candidate openly supporting a Congress rival to a Congress candidate blessing a JP contestant and even dogs being released outside the office of a BJP rebel. One of the most striking developments has emerged from Nathdwara in Rajsamand district, where BJP candidate Dinesh Prajapat announced his support for Congress nominee Ajay Gurjar in Ward 23, just days before polling. Prajapat, however, made it clear that his political identity remains with the BJP and that he would continue to remain associated with the party. The episode has added an unexpected twist to what would ordinarily be a straightforward BJP-Congress contest. It also highlights the importance of personal equations and local-level dynamics in municipal elections, where candidates often face voters with whom they have long-standing social and personal relationships. An equally unusual scene unfolded in Sikar's Ward 15, where former Municipal Council chairman and Congress candidate Jeevan Khan was seen blessing BJP candidate Simran during campaigning. Khan placed his hand on Simran's head in a gesture of goodwill, creating a striking image of political rivals sharing a moment of warmth during an otherwise fiercely contested election. The incident underlines how local elections can sometimes produce relationships that do not fit neatly into conventional party politics. Kota provided another example of political civility. In Ward 54, BJP candidate Vivek Rajvanshi and Congress candidate Manish Sharma reportedly shook hands when they came face-to-face during campaigning. Elsewhere in Kota, candidates adopted more unconventional campaign styles. BJP candidate Pratibha Suman was seen roasting peanuts on a roadside pushcart in Ward 64, while BJP candidate Soma Ahluwalia reportedly bowed before elderly residents during her campaign in Ward 56. Not every story from the campaign trail has been about political drama. Residents of Royal Suncity Colony in Kota's Ward 33 have announced a boycott of voting, alleging inadequate development work in their area. The protest puts local civic issues at the heart of the election debate and signals that candidates must answer not only for party politics but also for visible work or the lack of it on the ground. Kota also witnessed an unusual voter-list error in Ward 29. In Part 12, the details of a voter named Jagdish, including his name, father's name and house number, were reportedly correct, but the photograph displayed against the entry was that of Lord Hanuman. The unusual error has raised questions about the accuracy of electoral rolls and the verification process. The election battle took a particularly unusual turn in Dungarpur's Ward 31. On Friday, a Municipal Council shelter-home vehicle reportedly released around 15 dogs outside the office of Sunil Jain, a BJP rebel contesting as an independent. Jain alleged that the incident was an abuse of official machinery intended to weaken his campaign. The allegation has added another layer to the growing tensions between official party candidates and rebels contesting independently. Political tensions also surfaced in Jaipur's Ward 149, where residents reportedly surrounded the vehicle of Amer MLA Prashant Sahdev Sharma during his campaign visit in support of Congress candidate Anjali Brahmbhatt. The protesters allegedly waved black flags as the MLA arrived in the Handipura area, turning the campaign visit into a moment of confrontation. Amid the local-level turbulence, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma continued the BJP's campaign pitch. Addressing a gathering in Bikaner, he said people were moving from a double-engine government towards a riple-engine government, referring to coordination between governments at different levels. He in fact has organised roadshows in Bikaner, Udaipur and Ajmer. However, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, verbally attacking the BJP government in the state, said, It is the first time a Chief Minister feels compelled to conduct a roadshow for local self-government elections, including municipal corporations, municipal councils, and municipalities. This isn't a positive sign; it is their biggest drawback. They have effectively proved that the government has been non-functional for the past two and a half years, leading to widespread public anger. The Rajasthan civic elections are increasingly looking less like a simple BJP-versus-Congress contest and more like a collection of local political dramas. Candidates are crossing traditional lines, rivals are exchanging gestures of goodwill, rebels are challenging party establishments, residents are threatening boycotts, and campaign events are producing unexpected confrontations. Ultimately, however, the decisive actor remains the voter. Behind the headlines, the real question is whether these unusual campaign moments translate into votes on polling day or remain memorable episodes from one of Rajasthan's most colourful municipal election campaigns.
