### Political Activity Heats Up in Delhi

Congress, as expected, has appointed former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot as the senior observer for the Haryana Assembly elections. In response, BJP's strategist, Home Minister Amit Shah, called Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma to Delhi to discuss not only Haryana’s election strategy but also several political and non-political matters, including Rajasthan's upcoming by-elections. 

This political activity in Delhi has fueled discussions, especially with Gehlot swiftly taking action in Haryana. Meanwhile, Shah provided key instructions to Sharma, who had just returned from an overseas trip. Shah and Sharma reportedly discussed cabinet expansion and the resignation of Dr. Kirori Lal Meena.

The growing political heat has extended beyond Delhi, as speculation rises about Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal possibly resigning and calling for assembly elections in November. Meanwhile, both Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir are gearing up for their elections, intensifying the political environment. 

Amid these developments, the untimely demise of Congress MLA Zubair Khan from Ramgarh has resulted in the need for by-elections in seven assembly constituencies, a situation unprecedented in Rajasthan’s legislative history. This reinforces a long-standing belief about the Rajasthan Assembly's "curse," where the current building has never hosted all 200 MLAs at once. 

Since its establishment, Rajasthan’s new assembly building has been associated with incidents preventing the full assembly of all MLAs. Speaker Vasudev Devanani is now reportedly considering holding a major ritual to purify the assembly building and break the cycle of these unfortunate events. 

The state's political arena remains tense as both BJP and Congress prepare for the upcoming by-elections, with the curse of the assembly building at the forefront of discussions once again.
