Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) may have formed the government by registering a unilateral victory in the rajasthan assembly elections, but all eyes are still on the Karanpur assembly seat, where voting is taking place today i.e. on Friday. During the recently concluded assembly elections, elections were held only on 199 out of 200 seats in Rajasthan. elections for Karanpur assembly seat of Sri Ganganagar district were canceled due to the death of congress party candidate Gurmeet Singh Kunnar. After the election results came out, the date for elections in Karanpur was fixed as today i.e. 5th January. Kunnar was also the mla from this seat and due to prolonged illness, he died in delhi just before the elections.
The government will not be affected by victory or defeat, but fought for the reputation.
