Rajasthan Chief Minsiter Vasundhara Raje, upset and shaken after the recent bypoll results, on Sunday said that it was a wake up call for the party. Addressing a party legislative meeting, she directed the party MLAs to spread awareness among the masses about developmental works done by the state government.
Raje said there was no need to lose hope over the bypolls, in which the BJP lost two Lok Sabha seats and one Assembly constituency to the Congress, party sources told the PTI.
BJP state president and MLA Ashok Parnami said the party was analysing the results.
The government left no stone unturned in carrying out development in the state and hoped that the party would retain power in the next Assembly elections due later this year, he added.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore, government chief whip Kalulal Gurjar, and deputy chief whip Madan Rathore also addressed the meeting held ahead of the budget session of the assembly which commences today.
The Congress won the Ajmer and the Alwar Lok Sabha seats and the Mandalgarh Assembly constituency in recently held bypolls. In the bypoll results declared on February 1, Congress’s Raghu Sharma, Dr Karan Singh Yadav and Vivek Dhakar won the Ajmer Lok Sabha, Alwar Lok Sabha and Mandalgarh Vidhan Sabha seats, respectively, defeating their BJP rivals by decisive margins.
