Shekhawat got a strong chunk of Rajput votes which was over four lakh in the last election, however, this vote bank was be divided this time, said political sources.

Congress General Secretary Swarnim Chaturvedi said that Barmer, Jodhpur, Kota and Jalore Sirohi seats are coming to the party’s kitty.

“There is a tough fight but we are confident of winning these seats. The BJP is scared and so it sent PM Modi to Barmer and Jalore Sirohi and Amit Shah to Kota. Recently Kangana was called to Jodhpur as BJP sensed danger here too,” he added.

Meanwhile Narayan Panchariya, BJP state Vice President said, “We are talking of development in all our programmes because the country will be a ‘Developed India’ by 2047. Voters trust our vision and mission. Hence PM Modi is spreading the message of ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ among the people.”
