The Congress party has initiated its ‘Mission 100’ campaign in Jaipur in preparation for the upcoming municipal corporation elections. This announcement was made by Sunil Sharma, the President of the Jaipur District Congress, on August 24, 2026, during a press conference. The primary objective of this campaign is to secure victory in 100 of the 150 seats available in the municipal elections in the city.

During the press briefing, Sharma indicated that the party’s ambitions stretch beyond simply functioning as a robust opposition. The Congress aims to establish its governance within the civic body, signalling a proactive approach to local politics. The ‘Mission 100’ initiative seeks to mobilise party workers at the booth level in a concerted effort to bolster the overall campaign strategy.

Sharma further noted that the campaign is intended to facilitate direct engagement with the citizens of Jaipur. By doing so, the Congress intends to highlight local issues and focus on developmental concerns that affect the community.

Strategy for Ticket Distribution

Addressing the strategy for the allocation of tickets for the municipal polls, Sunil Sharma clarified that the selections would not be swayed by personal recommendations or external pressures. The Congress party prioritises candidates demonstrating a genuine commitment to serving Jaipur and who have proven their dedication by working closely with the populace over an extended period.

The criteria for ticket distribution primarily include the candidates’ grassroots connections, public acceptance, commitment to the party, and previous work within their communities. The Congress plans to endorse individuals who not only have the potential to win their respective elections but who can also effectively advocate for public concerns as councillors.

This strategic approach aims to ensure that the candidates selected are well-versed in local issues and are capable of addressing them promptly if elected. The Congress is strongly focused on increasing its presence within the municipal landscape of Jaipur.

Organisational Preparations for Elections

To further bolster its efforts for the municipal elections, the Congress party has established several organisational committees. Key figures, including former Cabinet Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas along with MLAs Rafiq Khan and Amin Kagzi, have been assigned significant roles in shaping the election strategy and preparations.

Through these committees, the Congress aims to evaluate the electoral landscape on a ward-by-ward basis. This includes identifying potential candidates, coordinating with party workers, and systematically formulating robust election strategies. The Congress intends to reinforce the entire electoral process, encompassing all aspects from ticket allocation to campaigning.

Sunil Sharma reiterated that the desire for change among the people of Jaipur is palpable. He conveyed the message that the party is approaching these municipal elections with the intention of delivering meaningful change. The ‘Mission 100’ campaign is positioned not merely as a slogan but as a concrete and measurable electoral objective for the party.
