Some surveys are not reported in favour of Congress and the shift of BJP from the existing policy to not giving tickets to leaders above a certain age and no two tickets from one family has given the chance to the party to improve their position in election battlegrounds source says. The tickets to Vasundhara Raje followers and the Maharani also gave an edge source says. Though the Congress party is still heading but chances are there that the BJP will surpass Congress with its money power and fake promises as was done in the past elections a source says. To counter the move Congress party has brought Priyanka Gandhi as a star campaigner in the state source says. She addressed the public meeting at Niwari(Tonk) on the 10th. Then she was at Sikwara( Dausa) on 20 October and 25 addressed a huge rally at Ardawat village of Jhunjhunu district source says. She is attacking the main opposition BJP for their betrayal and false promises to the countrymen source says. The inflation, unemployment and failed foreign policies are referred to during the frontal attack on the BJP source says. Priyanka Gandhi says that during the last five years the government of Ashok Gahlot has done tremendously to uplift the conditions of the downtrodden source says. The free treatment of all in the state is one flagship program of the present state government she adds source says. Similarly, Ashok Gahlot promises that two programs will be started once his government is formed again, he refers to a cylinder to each family in 500/- rupees and an annual payment of rupees 10,000/- to the head of women in the family source says. The social benefit schemes launched by the present Congress government have gone to every household of the state and are likely to benefit the Ashok Gahlot to retain power despite the onslaught of the BJP campaigning groups source says.
