Bhanwer Jitendra likely to contest Alwar bypolls

The state Congress has started a campaign in the poll-bounded Alwar parliamentary constituency unofficially betted former union minister Bhanwer Jitendra Singh, a close aide of AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi who is set to become president of the party.

It was quite evident on Wednesday when Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee chief Sachin Pilot, AICC general secretary, and Rajasthan in charge Avinash Pandey with Singh officially started the campaign by holding ‘Mera Booth- Mera Gaurav’ program’. Singh, who earlier represented the seat, was found leading the workers and having a conversation with workers along with Pilot.

On this occasion, Sachin Pilot told the workers that party will win all three by-elections of Alwar and Ajmer Parliamentary seats and Mandalgar assembly election. “Soon Rahul Gandhi will take reign of the party as the president. We will win all three seats giving him a gift and assuring that party has a stronghold in  Rajasthan,” Sachin Pilot spoke in the conference of workers.

He also accused the chief minister Vasundhara Raje of ignoring bypoll bound constituencies in past four years and now touring these extensively and showering sops as the election are approaching.
