1993 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election

The 1993 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election was held in the Indian state of Rajasthan on November 21, 1993, to elect the members of the 10th Legislative Assembly. This election was significant as it took place in the context of political volatility and communal tensions following the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992. The Indian National Congress (INC), led by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, sought to regain power after facing a challenging tenure. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as a formidable opponent, capitalizing on the prevailing socio-political sentiments. The election resulted in a hung assembly, leading to a coalition government formation. The elections were marked by high voter turnout and extensive campaign activities across the state.
