It seems not only was the Union Budget and the recommendations of the Chief Justices for the High Court were taking place yesterday but the Rajasthan by-polls as well.
An impressive show by the Congress
In an impressive show, Congress party bagged all three Lok Sabha constituencies in Rajasthan defeating the BJP candidates in each of them. In Alwar, Congress candidate Karan Singh Yadav won by defeating Jaswant Yadav from the BJP. In Ajmer, Congress’ Raghu Sharma defeated BJP candidate Ram Swaroop Lamba. In Mandalgarh Congress candidate Vivek Dhakad won by defeating his nearest rival, a BJP candidate, by nearly 13,000 votes. After the 11th round of counting, 41-year-old Dhakad surged ahead of BJP candidate Shakti Singh Hada, who was leading in initial trends and emerged as the winner.
In 2014, the BJP had won all the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state. The Congress winning three of them is definitely an indication that upcoming state assembly polls this year and general elections in 2019 will not be a cakewalk for the saffron party.

Earlier, slamming the BJP government in Rajasthan, Congress leader Sachin Pilot said, “After failing to appease voters over religion, the BJP tried polarising them over caste…It is a victory of people, party workers and all leaders.”
