Manvendra Singh has achieved what many could only think of in Jhalraptan constituency. The Congress candidate has reduced the margin of win of chief minister Vasundhara Raje to just half in her home turf.  This time Raje’s winning margin is 34,980 votes while last time in 2013, she had defeated Meenakshi Chandrawat by over 60,000 votes.
