The Jalore Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in Rajasthan.

Sharing its borders with Gujarat, the Jalore constituency comprises the Jalore and Sirohi districts of Rajasthan.

The Jalore Lok Sabha constituency encompasses eight assembly constituency segments namely Ahore, Jalore (SC), Bhinmal, Sanchore, Raniwara, Sirohi, Pindwara-Abu (ST), and Reodar (SC).

The seat which was once a stronghold of the Indian National Congress, has now become a BJP bastion, with Devji Patil securing the seat since 2009.

In the Lok Sabha elections 2019, BJP’s Devji Patil won against Ratan Dewasi of the Congress party by securing 772,833 seats.

In the 2023 Assembly elections, the Jalore seat was won by Jogeshwar Garg of the Bhartiya Janata party who secured 84519 votes to beat Ramila Meghwal of the Indian National Congress.

For the 2024 elections, the Bhartiya Janata party has replaced three-time MP Devji Patel with Lumbaram Chaudhary.

BJP’s Lumbaram Chaudhary, a two time MP from Pali will be fighting against Ashok Gehlot’s son and Congress candidate Vaibhav Gehlot in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

This is the second time Vaibhav Gehlot, son of Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is contesting the elections. In 2019, he contested from the Jodhpur seat and lost to BJP’s Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.

Exuding confidence over Congress’ victory in the upcoming elections, Vaibhav Gehlot said that the people of Rajasthan have made up their mind to eliminate BJP from the state.

“The people have made up their minds to eliminate BJP from this Lok Sabha Elections as their MP’s has done no work in last 20 years and they want a change this time in Jalore Lok Sabha constituency. They want change. No new train has been started in the last 20 years. No national highways. The benefits of the central government schemes have not reached the state in the last 20 years,” he said.

The Jalore Lok Sabha constituency is reportedly predominantly inhabited by the Mali community, to which both Ashok Gehlot and his son belong. (ANI)
