The Congress on Thursday won the Ramgarh Assembly seat in Rajasthan with a margin of 12,228 votes as its candidate Shafia Zuber won 83,311 votes, a poll official said.
“Congress has build its credibility amongst voters by fulfilling all its promises made the manifesto.
“People in the state are fed up of polarisation orchestrated by the BJP. Hence they are opting for Congress. This broad margin speaks that story,” senior Congress leader Suresh Chaudhary told .
None of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members could be contacted as either their cell phones were switched off, or they did not take the call.
Counting is being held at Babu Shobharam Government Arts College here, said Ramgarh Returning Officer Pankaj Sharma
The election on this seat was scheduled on December 7 along with the rest of the Rajasthan Assembly polls but was postponed after Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate Laxman Singh died due to cardiac arrest.
Eventually, polling was held on January 28 with a high voter turnout.
There are 20 candidates in the fray but the main contest remains triangular between Congress, BJP and BSP.
The Congress aims to win the seat to hit a century in the 200-member House.
