Niranjan Arya, who has been the Chief Secretary of the state, and is considered close to Gehlot, has been given a ticket.
A couple of Sachin Pilot supporters have also been given tickets in this list like Brijendra Ola and Suresh Modi.
The Congress has additionally given tickets to members from three minority Muslim communities. Naseem Akhtar has been given a ticket from the religiously significant Pushkar, although he had lost from the previous seat he had contested in.
