Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's son, Dushyant Singh, has won for a fourth time from the Jhalawar-Baran seat by 4,53,928 votes.

The latest trends showed that BJP has won 17 lok sabh seats and was leding in seven. The Rashtriya Loktantrik Party has won one seat while Congress was yet to open its account in the state.

This comes in contrast to Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav Gehlot losing from the Jodhpur Lok Sabha constituency to incumbent Gajendra Singh Shekhawat of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

BJP leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat secured the Jodhpur seat with 58.50 per cent of the voter share or 7,80,390 votes, while Congress candidate Vaibhav Gehlot polled 5,10,759 votes or 38.29 per cent of vote share.

Considered close to top leadership of BJP and backed by RSS, Gajendra Singh banked on the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his election campaign.
