Summary:
When Raje could not get Sharma on her side, she poached his son Ashok, who was Congress’ district president, recently. Riding on their support, Congress has kept BJP at bay for most part of the past 66 years.Of the lot, sitting legislator from Rajakhera constituency Pradhyumn Singh stands out. Two of these still have a firm grip over the crime-infested region, while other two have lately been fading away. He now faces challenge from outgoing BJP chief minister Vasundhara Raje , who could choose Rajakhera as her second constituency in the current elections.Like Singh, ex-MLA Banwari Lal Sharma has been controlling the Dholpur constituency since 1967. Pradhyumn Singh, the last finance minister to present state budget in the assembly before the CMs usurped the portfolio, has worked with four Congress chief ministers..
