It’s a crucial day for both BJP and Congress in Rajasthan today as the much-awaited results of Dholpur bypolls 2017 will be declared soon. Dholpur elections were a matter of pride and power for the political parties that were eyeing the upcoming 2018 Rajasthan state assembly elections. Last two weeks witnessed a flurry of campaigns, roadshows and election strategies to wind local voters.
Based on the distribution of communities in Dholpur, the Kushwahas and Brahmins are backing BJP whereas the Gujjars and Muslims are inclined towards the Congress. This makes it hard to say which party will get the majority of votes.
In any case the early predictions hint at BJP’s impeding victory. The parties will fight neck-to-neck for votes but BJP, being the power at the state and the centre seems to have an upper hand over Congress in Dholpur. That’s all that we can say at this point.
