BJP wrests Rajasthan from Congress, Gehlot's welfare schemes fail to do the trick
Jaipur, Dec 3 (PTI) The BJP wrested Rajasthan on Sunday winning 115 seats out of the 199 where polling took place as the Congress failed to buck the state’s three-decade revolving-door trend in which the voters have rejected the party in power.
Twelve hours after counting began, one result was still awaited with the Congress leading. On 68 other seats, its candidates were declared winners.
A slew of welfare schemes introduced by the Ashok Gehlot government in the run-up to the November 25 assembly polls fell flat before the aggressive BJP campaign, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
