About Bhilwara Constituency
A textile town in Mewar, this constituency has, in recent times, turned into a BJP stronghold. Particularly after the death of Shiv Charan Mathur, the BJP has consolidated its hold over the constituency. However, its boundaries have changed quite a bit post delimitation, so the history may not hold absolutely true now.
Of the recent four Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has won thrice, with the Congress winning only in 1998.
The recent assembly elections were a close affair and a mixed bag for the BJP, since both the Congress and the BJP won four seats apiece of the eight segments.
The BJP has fielded its popular two time sitting MP, Mr. Vijayender Pal Singh against the Congress , C. P. Joshi.
