Rajendra Singh Rathore expressed confidence of BJP winning more than 135 seats
Jaipur: BJP leader Rajendra Singh Rathore has expressed confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party will win 135 seats in the Rajasthan elections and achieve one of the “biggest” victories in the state.
Rathod, who was the leader of opposition in the outgoing assembly, attacked the Congress over Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s remarks that there was an “undercurrent” in favor of the Congress.
The BJP leader alleged, “Gehlot Saheb was right when he said that there is an undercurrent. It is 440 volts. The undercurrent he is talking about will shock the Congress.”
He said that people were not impressed by the guarantees given by the Congress government and they have voted to oust the party from power in the state.
Rathod said, “Congress is heading towards a humiliating defeat. According to ground reports, BJP will bag more than 135 seats in the elections. This will be one of the biggest election victories.”
Voting took place in Rajasthan on Saturday and more than 74 percent voters exercised their franchise. Voting took place in 199 out of 200 seats in the state as the election on one seat was postponed due to the death of a candidate.
Counting of votes in four other states including Rajasthan will take place on December 3.
