parties opposed his candidature, Sonia Gandhi proposed Pratibha Patil, Governor of Rajasthan, as the
presidential candidate. Shivraj Patil was later considered a possible candidate for the post of Vice

the main advantages on his side.

Banswara Lok Sabha Seat – A Snapshot
Banswara is another Congress stronghold in Mewar. This seat was seized in 2004 by the BJP
when things were going its way. It will be tough for BJP to retain this seat.
In the previous four Lok Sabha elections, it was only in 2004 that the BJP actually managed
to snatch it from the Congress. All other times, the Congress has won here and usually with
very convincing margins.
Of the eight assembly segments, the Congress holds six, the JD(U) one and and independent
one. The BJP’s performance in the recent assembly elections were absolutely dismal. The
Congress vote was about one and a half lakh more than the BJP-JD(U) vote.
The BJP has denied a ticket to the sitting MP, Dhan Singh Rawat, and has fielded Mr. Hakru
Maida. It will take a miracle for him to overcome the anti-incumbency generated by his
predecessor. Mr. Rawat contested the just concluded assembly elections and lost by about
25000 votes in his home constituency.
