At the same, a huge crowd gathered together to welcome Uchiyarda to Jodhpur after Congress gave him ticket to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha election. Thousands of supporters gathered to congratulate and wish him well.

Speaking to NDTV, the politician said that he will deal with issues of development. He said that it’s been long that the BJP government been giving false promises of 2 crore jobs every year. He also mentioned the Ram Temple issue and said that Ram Temple is not anyone’s inheritance, and added that BJP is dividing people in the name of Ram.

The Jodhpur constituency was a forte of former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot from 1991 to 1999. However, the seat has seen a fair share rule from both Congress and BJP.
