All 25 Lok Sabha seats in Rajasthan went to the BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The Congress, however, seemed to catch up lost ground by winning the assembly polls last year.

In the latest phase of campaigning, the BJP continued with its focus on the surgical strike and the air strike against Pakistan-based terrorists, while also highlighting the UN designation of Masood Azhar as a global terrorist.

The Congress seemed to bank on `Nyay', the income support promise under which the poorest 20 per cent families will get Rs 6,000 a month if the party comes to power.
