Jaipur: The BJP seemed poised for a landslide victory in Rajasthan as the counting of votes took place on Sunday for the December 1 polls in the state.
Vasundhara Raje, widely predicted to stage an emphatic comeback in the state, was at a temple as counting took place. The BJP leader left early for the Tripura Sundari temple, where she would stay till the results start pouring in, her family said.
The BJP is leading in at least 48 of 200 seats in trends available till now. Exit polls have supported the party's confidence that it will evict the Congress' Ashok Gehlot government in the state.
Rajasthan saw high-pitched campaigns by the top leaders in both parties. The BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and the man many see as his chief rival for the top post in the 2014 general elections, Rahul Gandhi of the Congress toured the state extensively.
The ruling Congress drew flak over its choice of candidates when it fielded the relatives of two politicians in jail in connection with the Bhanwari Devi murder case.
