Now both the parties have taken the responsibility of activating the social media accounts of these candidates.
BJP: Active from headquarters to assembly constituency
Candidates like Sukhwant Singh from Ramgarh seat, Revantram Danga from Khinvsar, Rajendra Bhambu from Jhunjhunu have more followers on different social media platforms than other candidates, but the party was expecting even more.
