Jaipur: Elections in five states concluded as voting ended in Rajasthan. It is being considered as the semi-final for the upcoming 2019 election. Rajasthan had polled on December 7 and for the 200-seat Rajasthan assembly, Congress and BJP is having a direct fight. It has been learnt that the incumbent Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is  having a tough battle against the Congress. There is also a strong anti-incumbency wave against her, for this elections. Most of the exit polls have predicted BJP losing its ground in the largest state of India to its arch-rival Congress.
