Jhunjhunu News Desk: In the by-elections held on seven seats in Rajasthan, Congress has suffered the biggest blow in Jhunjhunu. This has become a strong stronghold of Congress. After 21 years, this time BJP has done a burglary and has blossomed the lotus there. In Jhunjhunu, BJP’s Rajendra Bhambhu has defeated Congress candidate Amit Ola, grandson of veteran Congress leader Shishram Ola, by more than 40 thousand votes. The biggest thing is that it is being linked not only to Congress but also to the politics of Ola family. The Ola family had dominated Jhunjhunu for decades. Now all that remains is the official announcement of victory.
There is an atmosphere of tremendous enthusiasm in the BJP camp due to the victory of Jhunjhunu. BJP was tired of facing the rebellion of its own people in the last four elections here. This time, after overcoming the rebellion, he fought the elections single-mindedly. He has also got the result. Many meanings are being inferred from BJP’s victory in Jhunjhunu. Now this is also being considered as the beginning of an end to the politics of Ola family. The Ola family had been involved in the politics of Jhunjhunu for almost five decades.
Voters dealt a blow to nepotism
The defeat of Amit Ola of Congress is being considered as a deep blow to the voters on familyism here. Congress’ core voters, the minority community and other contenders were extremely unhappy with tickets being repeatedly given to the Ola family. Congress had also fielded Shishram Ola’s son Brijendra Ola in the Lok Sabha elections. Brijendra Ola had been MLA from Jhunjhunu for four consecutive terms. After that he became an MP.
When the father gave up his seat, the party gave the ticket to his son.
Congress again fielded his son Amit Ola on the seat vacated by his becoming MP. Due to this, the minority community got separated from the Congress and the Congress had to face a crushing defeat. Shishram Ola had been MP and MLA from Jhunjhunu several times. His son Brijendra Ola is a four-time MLA and MP. Brijendra Ola’s wife Rajbala Ola has also been the district chief.
