1985 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election

The 1985 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election was held on January 31, 1985, to elect members of the 6th Assembly of Rajasthan. This election was notable as it followed a period of political instability in the state, marked by a lack of a stable government and frequent changes in leadership. The Indian National Congress, led by Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, emerged victorious, securing a significant majority with 153 out of 200 seats. This marked a resurgence for the Congress Party in Rajasthan, as the previous assembly elections had seen fragmented results. The voter turnout was approximately 55%, reflecting significant public engagement. The election results established a stable government, allowing for legislative initiatives in various sectors such as education, infrastructure, and social welfare.
