Current CM of Rajasthan (as of 2024) is:

Explanation

The answer is Bhajan Lal Sharma. The question asks who was the Chief Minister of Rajasthan in 2024. Rising Rajasthan, Government of Rajasthan identifies Bhajanlal Sharma as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan. Bhajan Lal Sharma became Chief Minister in December 2023 after the BJP won the Rajasthan state elections. Therefore, among the four options, only Bhajan Lal Sharma held the office in 2024. The other names are prominent in Rajasthan politics, but they were not the Chief Minister at that reference point.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Ashok Gehlot is not correct because Bhajan Lal Sharma became Chief Minister in December 2023 after the BJP won the Rajasthan state elections.
• (B) Vasundhara Raje is a prominent political figure in Rajasthan, but Rising Rajasthan, Government of Rajasthan identifies Bhajanlal Sharma, not her, as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
• (C) Sachin Pilot is not correct because he was not the Chief Minister of Rajasthan in 2024.

Concept

This question tests knowledge of current office-holders in Rajasthan's political and administrative system. RAS repeatedly asks such facts because knowledge of constitutional offices and state leadership is a foundation for understanding governance, administration and current affairs.
