Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today said he was confident of a win in the state. He had also said the BJP wouldn't form a government in any of the five states that went to polls in November.
"Congress government will be formed (in Rajasthan). In all five states, I feel that BJP is not going to form the government. Exit polls may say something, surveys might suggest something, but based on the feedback of people in the cities and villages, I feel that our government should come," Gehlot told reporters.
