Due to the enmity, Congress’s game got spoiled on these seats
Congress’s defeat on these two seats of Anta and Chhabra-Baran districts was due to internal politics. Gehlotgovernment minister Pramod Jain Bhaya was contesting from Anta seat.

BJP’s Pratap Sanghvi has won from here. The main reason for the defeat ofCongress candidates on both the seats is naresh meena of sachin pilot group. Both these seats are consideredMeena dominated. Before the elections, naresh had opened a front against Bhaya. naresh was seeking ticket fromAnta or Chhabra seat, but he did not get the ticket. After this he called a meeting of meena community andannounced to contest from Chhabra seat. naresh was not successful in winning from Chhabra seat, but he got 41thousand votes. Because of naresh, meena voters got polarized in Anta seat also. Despite fears of spoiling thegame here, Pilot and Gehlot did not try to do damage control together.Khandela- Khandela seat of Sikar district has also been lost due to the enmity between congress Pilot and Gehlot.Pilot wanted to give ticket to his close aide Subhash Meel, but Gehlot was adamant for independent MahadevKhandela. Subhash Meel had lost the last election by only 4 thousand votes. After not getting the ticket, Meelimmediately joined BJP. bjp also gave ticket to Meel immediately. Miles won the election from here by a marginof 42 thousand votes.Chauhtan- Padmaram was contesting elections from here on congress ticket. In 2018, sachin pilot gave his fullstrength to win Padmaram. Due to the enmity between Gehlot and Pilot, this time Padmaram was left alone inChohtan. Padmaram lost the election by 1428 votes. local equations are also responsible for Padmaram’s defeat.Experts say that if both the senior leaders had laid the chessboard properly then Padmaram could have won theelections.
