Mission accomplished, Vasundhara grabs all 25
Jaipur:
TEAM TOI
The Times of India May 17 2014
BJP in Rajasthan accomplished its “Mission-25”.
This is only the second time that a party has won all the 25 seats in the state with the first one being a Congres clean sweep in 1984.
After winning 163 seats in the assembly polls, CM Vasundhara Raje had coined the “Mission-25” slogan. As BJP had won only four seats in 2009, a gain of 21 seats from the state has contributed substantially to the party’s overall tally. Five union ministers including Sachin Pilot (Ajmer), Chandresh Kumari (Jodhpur), Jitendra Singh (Alwar), Girija Vyas (Chittorgarh) and Namonarain Meena (Dausa) faced embarrassing defeat.
Besides, senior Congres leader, CP Joshi, who shifted to Jaipur-rural from his current seat Bhilwara, lost to Rajyavardhan Rathore, winner of silver medal in Olympics. Cricketer Mohd Azharuddin lost to BJP's Sukhbir Singh Jaunpuria. BJP rebel and in dependent candidate from Barmer, Jaswant Singh, lost to Congres turncoat Sonaram Choudhary .
