He said, "The trend is in favour of Congress, we will win. We have worked for the people during our tenure... People are unhappy with this 11-month tenure of BJP."
Notably, Congress has fielded Deendayal Bairwa from the Dausa assembly seat while the BJP candidate is Jagmohan Meena.
The by-polls in Rajasthan on seven seats including Jhunjhunu, Dausa, Deoli-Uniara, Khinwsar, Chorasi, Salumbar and Ramgarh are underway with results to be declared on November 20. The by-polls on these seven seats were necessitated after two MLAs died and five others were elected to the Lok Sabha.

The BJP has 114 MLAs in the 200-member Rajasthan Assembly, the Congress has 65, the Bharat Adivasi Party three, the Bahujan Samaj Party two, one Rashtriya Lok Dal and eight independents.
