Congress facing countrywide anti-incumbency: Arun Jaitley

JAIPUR: Buoyed by the BJP's show in the Lok Sabha and Assembly by-polls, party leader Arun Jaitley today said that there was an anti-incumbency wave against the Congress across the country.

By-poll results in four states, including Gujarat, have shown that the anti-incumbency was prevailing against the Congress not only in the states ruled by it but in the entire country, he told reporters at a hotel here.

For upcoming assembly polls in Rajasthan, Jaitley said it would be a "double incumbency" against the ruling Gehlot government and the BJP would come again in power with more seats than it had won in 2003 assembly polls.

" Vasundhara Raje, who is leading the Suraj Sankalp Yatra, would win the next assembly polls with absolute majority," he claimed.

Jaitley visited Rajasthan to attend Suraj Sankalp Yatra at Ajmer.
