JAIPUR: A day before the voting for the four RS seats in the state, BJP leaders held a mock poll at the hotel where the MLAs have been corralled since Tuesday. By the evening, all the 79 MLAs of BJP had arrived at the hotel, with the party leadership claiming a win for both its candidates.
According to party sources, not only have all the MLAs agreed to vote in favour of V P Singh and Ram Jethmalani, the party also enjoys the support of the lone JD(U) MLA and at least three independent MLAs.
Jivaram Chaudhry, one among the Independents who reportedly pledged support to BJP, is likely to join the party in the near future. However, the day began on a discordant note with the controversy surrounding the screening of ‘Raajneeti’.
