Congress decision to go it alone in Raj bypolls may prove counterproductive
The grand old party contested the Lok Sabha elections under the banner of INDIA in alliance with the RLP and the BAP in the state.
Nominations of 10 contestants -Independents and local parties- were rejected on Monday during scrutiny for seven assembly segments of Rajasthan that will go to polls in bye elections on November 13. However, nominations filed by recognised parties including Congress, BJP, RLP and BAP were found in order and valid, a state election office spokesman said here.
