Rajasthan bypolls to test Congress performance; will win both seats: Pilot

Wednesday, 16 October 2019 | PTI | Jaipur

Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister and State  Congress president Sachin Pilot on Tuesday said Mandawa and Khinwsar  Assembly bypolls will be the test of the work done by his party Government and claimed it will win both the seats with “huge” margins.

The bypolls were necessitated after Khinwsar (Nagaur) MLA Hanuman  Beniwal and Mandava (Jhunjhunu) MLA Narendra Kumar (BJP) were elected  to Lok Sabha in May this year.

 “The bypolls are the test of the work of the Government and we  are prepared for that. We will win the seats with huge margin. When  the Congress was in opposition for five years, we won all bypolls  and this time, we are in the Government and there is no reason for  not winning the bypolls,” Pilot told reporters here.

 “The State Government’s first and foremost priority is to make  the life of people better. We ought to do whatever is possible to  help people at personal, social and administrative level,” he said.

Pilot said it is important for every public representative to stay  connected with people.

While Congress has fielded former MLAs Rita Chaudhary in Mandawa  and Harendra Mirdha in Khimsar, the BJP has given ticket to Sushila  Sigra in Mandawa and is contesting the bypolls in alliance with MP  Hanuman Beniwal’s Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) on Khimsar where  Beniwal’s brother Narayan Beniwal is the alliance candidate.
