Campaign to end tomorrow for 20 LS seats in Rajasthan

  Campaign to end tomorrow for 20 LS seats in Rajasthan

 Campaign will come to an end tomorrow
in 20 Lok Sabha seats that will go to polls in Rajasthan on
April 17.
    The state will have a two-phase polling, with five
remaining seats going to polls in the second phase on April
24.
    Chief Election Officer Ashok Jain today said that public
meetings, rallies, processions or campaigning through
electronic media and SMSes will be restricted after 6 PM
tomorrow.
    Candidates can, however, do door to door canvassing, he
said.
    239 candidates, including BJP rebels Jaswant Singh and
Subhash Maharia, are in the fray in the 20 seats that go to
polls on April 17.
    Of the 17 women contestants figuring in the first phase,
Congress accounts for six, including three sitting MPs, and
BJP one.
    About 4.26 crore voters, including 2.01 crore women are
eligible to exercise their franchise at 47,948 polling booths
in the state in both the phases.
