JODHPUR: As the state goes to polls on Friday, it will be interesting to note whether the long-held setback for Ashok Gehlot of losing the Jodhpur City and Soorsagar constituencies for three successive terms, will be resolved this time.Jodhpur City and Soorsagar are two constituencies, which have become invincible bastions of the BJP for the past three elections in succession and despite changing faces every election, the Congress has not been able to snatch them from the BJP. Gehlot has invariably expressed his pain of constantly losing these two constituencies and has complained to the party workers and the people of the city.While the Congress has roped in a new face once again from the City constituency, a female party worker Manisha Panwar, the BJP has roped in Atul Bhansali opposite her, who is the nephew of the two-time sitting MLA Kailash Bhansali..
