Pushp Jain – BJP candidate from Pali Parliamentary Constituency

BJP Candidate Pushp Jain - Representing Pali Constituency from last 10 years

BJP Candidate Pushp Jain - Representing Pali Constituency from last 10 years

Pushp Jain will contest from Pali as the  BJP candidate.

Pushp Jain  Represents Pali From Last 10 Year

Pusp Jain  was born on 4 April 1956 in village Jaitaran, Pali and represents the Pali constituency from last 10 years.

In this Elections, Pushp Jain will contest against Congress candidate Badri Ram Jhakar, who in the last polls lost to BJP’s Jaswant Singh Bishnoi in Jodhpur.

Educational and Social Profile

He has done B.Com from Commerce College and LLB from Law College, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Pushp Jain has been actively involved in social work activities. He played a active role in saving the cow progeny by providing them with fodder and water during famine in Rajasthan.

He made special efforts for protecting wild animals in Aravali mountain ranges, distributed relief material worth one crore rupees to the earthquake affected people in Gujarat and have shown keen interest in the treatment of the ill fated people.

Pali Parliamentary Constituency

A BJP stronghold in Marwar, this constituency will feature an interesting battle this time. Sirvis and Jains are the main groups of the area, and both of them have their strong points. The previous Lok Sabha elections have almost always returned illustrious Jains from the constituency, in particular from the BJP.

The Congress has won here only once in the last twenty years, in 1998 when a pro-Congress wave swept the state.

The assembly elections portray pretty much what might be expected. Of the eight assembly segments, the BJP won six, and the Congress two. The BJP vote is about 30,000 more than the Congress vote. The party managed to win four — Sojat, Bali, Marwar Junction and Pali — out of the six seats in Pali parliamentary seat, with tourism minister Bina Kak winning Sumerpur for the Congress and an independent Dilip Choudhary winning Jaitaran. To these, one may add Osian, Bhopalgarh and Bilara, which is now part of Pali.

However, the Congress sniffs an opportunity here. The newly-added assembly constituencies together account for close to 1.2 lakh of the total 2 lakh Jat votes in the 16,79,768 voter seat that might help it to change the equation in the constituency where BJP has won five of the last six parliamentary elections.
