bjp-wins-five-seats-in-rajasthan-bap-claims-chorasi

Rajasthan BJP President Madan Rathore on Saturday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party has won the Assembly bypolls in Jhunjhunu, Khinwsar, Deoli-Uniara, Ramgarh, and Salumbar, while a recount of votes is underway in Dausa.

 

According to the latest Election Commission of India (ECI) figures, BJP candidates are leading in five seats—Jhunjhunu, Khinwsar, Deoli-Uniara, Ramgarh, and Salumbar—while Congress is ahead in Dausa.

 

The Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) nominee has won the Chorasi Assembly seat.

 

"We have won five seats, while the recounting is underway in Dausa. I am hopeful of a positive result," Rathore told reporters.

 

"Though we lost in Chorasi, our candidate secured more votes compared to the 2023 Assembly elections," he added.

 

According to the ECI, BJP candidates Rewant Ram Danga (Khinwsar), Rajendra Bhamboo (Jhunjhunu), Rajendra Gujar (Deoli-Uniara), Sukhwant Singh (Ramgarh), and Shanta Meena (Salumbar) are in the lead, while Congress’ Deen Dayal is ahead by a slim margin in Dausa.

 

BAP nominee Anil Kumar Katara won the Chorasi seat, defeating his nearest rival, Karilal Nanoma of the BJP, by 24,370 votes.
