Congress will win all three seats in Rajasthan bypolls: Gehlot

Jaipur: Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has claimed that Congress will emerge as winner in bypolls conducted in Ajmer and Alwar Lok Sabha constituencies and Mandalgarh Assembly seat in the state yesterday.

Congress will win bypolls conducted on all the three seats, Gehlot said talking to reporters in Kota today. State election department has made arrangements for counting scheduled on February 1 for all the three seats.

Information of all rounds of counting will be available on department’s website, a spokesperson said. Bypolls were necessitated in these three seats due to the deaths of the sitting lawmakers. Ajmer MP Sanwar Lal Jat, Alwar MP Chand Nath and Mandalgarh MLA Kirti Kumari (all of BJP) passed away last year.
