Sikar : Former Leader of Opposition Rajendra Rathore has said that he will not contest in the upcoming by-election. Talking to the media in Sikar on Wednesday, Rathore said that I have lost the election. Therefore, I will not contest the election. Still, whatever order the party gives, I will follow it as a true soldier. There is a discussion in political circles that the party can give Rajendra Rathore a ticket from Jhunjhunu. It is believed that according to the caste equation, Rajendra Rathore is not a fit for the Jhunjhunu seat.
