Rajasthan Assembly Election Results 2023: Speaking to reporters about the BJP's decisive lead in Rajasthan on December 3, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said the Congress was "fully prepared for the elections" and "left no stone unturned".
“We did not leave any stone unturned and were fully prepared for the elections. We thought people would vote for us based on our current schemes but that did not happen. We will analyse this. I thought people would take revenge on PM Modi and HM Amit Shah but I think the public could not understand this...”

The BJP has appeared set to win the assembly polls in Rajasthan, defeating the Congress. According to the latest available trends, the BJP won 52 seats and was ahead in 63, while the Congress won 26 and was leading in 43.
In a post on X, Gehlot said, "We humbly accept the mandate given by the people of Rajasthan. This is an unexpected result for everyone. This defeat shows that we were not completely successful in taking our plans, laws, and innovations to the public."
"I wish the new government all the best. My advice to them is that despite working hard, we were not successful, it does not mean that they should not work after forming the government," he said.
He said all the schemes introduced by the Congress government in the past five years, including the old pension scheme and the Chiranjeevi health insurance scheme, should be taken forward by the next government.
"I thank all the Congress workers who worked hard in this election and express my gratitude to all the voters who believed in us," he said.
Responding to the BJP's victories in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, Prime Minister, and senior BJP leader Narendra Modi said the votes "indicate people are firm with politics of good governance, a development which BJP stands for".
"I thank people of Chhattisgarh, MP, Rajasthan for unwavering support, we will keep working tirelessly for their well-being." the PM added.
