Thu Nov 07 17:00:05 UTC 2024: ## Congress Candidate Seeks to Carry on Father’s Legacy in Ramgarh By-Election
**Ramgarh, Rajasthan – November 7, 2024:** Aryaan Khan, the young Congress candidate for the Ramgarh Assembly by-election, is campaigning on a platform of continuing his late father’s legacy. Zubair Khan, the sitting MLA and a four-time representative for the constituency, passed away in September after a prolonged illness.
Aryaan Khan, a law graduate and fitness centre owner, is hoping to capitalize on a wave of sympathy votes for his father’s work in the constituency. His campaign emphasizes the late Zubair Khan’s achievements over the past four decades and promises to continue his commitment to public service, honesty, and sensitivity to the needs of the people.
The Congress party is hoping to maintain its hold on the Ramgarh seat, which has been a traditional stronghold for the party. Key leaders like Tika Ram Jully and Jitendra Singh have joined Aryaan Khan in his campaign, expressing confidence in his ability to continue the legacy of his father.
The constituency’s Meo Muslim voters, who make up the majority, are reportedly open to giving Aryaan Khan a chance, citing his political background and experience working in the constituency during previous elections.
The voters are hoping their next MLA will bring about the completion of the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project, initiated by the previous Congress government, to provide much-needed irrigation facilities. They also seek the development of new industrial areas and a trauma centre to improve healthcare.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has put forward Sukhwant Singh as its candidate, who ran as an Independent in the 2023 Assembly election. The BJP has managed to unite its ranks, convincing its 2023 candidate Jai Ahuja to step aside in support of Singh.
The by-election is scheduled for November 13, and the results will provide a crucial indicator of the public sentiment towards the Congress party in the state.
