He garnered 70,146 votes, defeating Hada by 12,976 votes.
Dhakad, a law graduate, had contested assembly election in 2013 as a Congress candidate from this seat but lost to Kumari by 18,540 votes.
Mandalgarh has traditionally been a Congress seat but last time the BJP had won the seat.
The Congress Party is leading on both the Lok Sabha seats from Alwar and Ajmer.

All the three leaders were from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
