2014 Indian general election in Rajasthan

The 2014 Indian general election in Rajasthan was a significant political event held from April 7 to May 12, 2014, as part of the 16th Lok Sabha elections. Rajasthan, a key state in northern India, has a total of 25 parliamentary constituencies. The election witnessed a considerable shift in voter sentiment, marked by a strong performance from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which secured 25 out of 25 seats in the state. This electoral outcome was largely attributed to the party's focus on development, economic reforms, and the leadership of Narendra Modi, who emerged as the Prime Ministerial candidate. The election also highlighted issues such as governance, infrastructure, and socioeconomic changes affecting the electorate. The Indian National Congress, the principal opposition party, faced a significant defeat, reflecting a broader trend in national politics during this election cycle.
