Jaipur News Desk: The election campaign for the by-elections on seven assembly seats in Rajasthan will stop today. Voting will be held for the by-elections on all seven seats on Wednesday i.e. 13th November. Whereas, the results will be declared on 23rd November. The reputation of both BJP and Congress is at stake in this election. On one hand, Congress is trying its best to retain its seats, while on the other hand, BJP is trying to compensate for the loss of 11 seats in the state in the Lok Sabha elections. The by-election is no less than a litmus test for BJP state president Madan Rathod, because only a few months ago Madan Rathod was handed over the command of Rajasthan BJP.
Congress is fighting the by-election alone
There are many seats out of 7 in Rajasthan by-election, where independent, rebel and regional party candidates are challenging the Congress and BJP candidates. Interestingly, Congress, which contested the Lok Sabha elections in alliance on 25 seats in the state, has entered the by-election field on its own. At the same time, BJP has also fielded candidates on all the seven seats. Apart from this, BAP is contesting by-elections on two seats and RLP on one seat.
Rajendra Gudha increased the problem in Jhunjhunu.
Jhunjhunu seat is also included among the 7 seats on which by-elections are being held. Brijendra Ola from Congress had won this seat in the 2023 assembly elections. After this, after winning the Lok Sabha elections, he became an MP. Now Congress has given ticket to Amat Ola in the by-election. This seat is considered to be a good hold of Ola family. BJP has made Rajendra Bhambu its candidate from Jhunjhunu. Apart from this, Rajendra Singh Gudha is contesting as an independent. The entry of Rajendra Gudha may spoil the game of Congress. It is believed that Rajendra Gudha will break into the vote bank of Congress. Gudha can spoil the calculations of Congress as well as BJP.
Naresh Meena will spoil the game
Apart from this, the fight on Deoli-Uniara seat of Tonk district is also interesting. From this seat, Rajendra Gurjar is contesting from BJP and KC Meena is contesting from Congress ticket. At the same time, Naresh Meena, who rebelled against Congress, is contesting the by-election as an independent candidate. Naresh Meena had demonstrated his strength by taking out a road show with 5 thousand vehicles in the area on Sunday. Congress will definitely face difficulties if he contests the elections, because Meena and Gurjar voters will decide the path to victory on this seat. There are a total of 3 lakh 2 thousand 721 voters on this seat. Of these, there are approximately 65 thousand ST-Meena voters and approximately 54 thousand Gurjar votes.
Interesting contest between Khinvsar and Chaurasi
At the same time, Hanuman Beniwal’s wife Kanika Beniwal is contesting on RLP ticket from Khinvsar seat. With Kanika entering the fray, the fight is not easy for BJP and Congress in Khinvsar, because Hanuman Beniwal had won from Khinvsar in the 2023 assembly elections. At the same time, Anil Katara, close to Rajkumar Rot, is contesting from Chaurasi seat on BAP ticket. Rajkumar Rot is considered to have a good hold on the eighty-fourth seat. In such a situation, the competition is going to be tough because of Anil Katara.
