The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has
crossed the halfway mark in Rajasthan, as per the Election Commission of India’s
latest trends.
There are 199 seats in the Rajasthan Assembly,
and the halfway mark is 100. The Congress has been in power in Rajasthan for
the last term.
Meanwhile, the beating of drums and
dancing by BJP workers continued outside the party office in Jaipur as official
EC trends show the party leading on 113 of the 199 seats so far.
Congress is traling on 69 seats.
As early trends show the BJP leading in
Rajasthan, State BJP president CP Joshi said, “This lead will keep growing. We
will win over 135 seats.”
Moreover, the Bharat Adivasi Party – BHRTADVSIP
is leading by two seats, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on three seats and
Independent by seven seats.
The birth of BAP symbolizes the
emergence of a formidable national political entity, one with a clear and
unwavering mission – to unite and tirelessly champion the rights and
aspirations of indigenous communities across the diverse expanse of India.
The Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) was
officially launched in the non descript village of Genji Ghata in Dungarpur
district.
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister
Vasundhara Raje is currently leading by close to 20,000 votes in Jhalrapatan.
Both parties have reached out to the
winning Independents and rebel candidates in different levels.
Over 40 rebels from both the BJP and the
Congress contested the Rajasthan election after they were denied tickets.
Rajasthan went to the polls on 199 of
200 assembly seats on November 25. The majority mark in the State is 100.
In the Karanpur constituency, elections
were adjourned due to the passing of Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Koonar.
