Banswara Lok Sabha Seat - A Snapshot
Banswara is another Congress stronghold in Mewar. This seat was seized in 2004 by the BJP when things were going its way. It will be tough for BJP to retain this seat.
In the previous four Lok Sabha elections, it was only in 2004 that the BJP actually managed to snatch it from the Congress. All other times, the Congress has won here and usually with very convincing margins.
Of the eight assembly segments, the Congress holds six, the JD(U) one and and independent one. The BJP’s performance in the recent assembly elections were absolutely dismal. The Congress vote was about one and a half lakh more than the BJP-JD(U) vote.
The BJP has denied a ticket to the sitting MP, Dhan Singh Rawat, and has fielded Mr. Hakru Maida. It will take a miracle for him to overcome the anti-incumbency generated by his predecessor. Mr. Rawat contested the just concluded assembly elections and lost by about 25000 votes in his home constituency.
