The BJP's tagline for this election has borrowed a few notes from a popular Rajasthani folk song by women of Kalbeliya, a tribe of snake charmers. The lyrics are about Vasundhara Raje's government bringing "khushaali" or prosperity to Rajasthan. But notwithstanding the marksheet of her government, the Chief Minister is facing a tough test on her home turf, Jhalawar. Former BJP legislator Manvedra Singh - the son of former Union minister Jaswant Singh -- has travelled many miles from his family stronghold Barmer to take on the Chief Minister on the seat she has retained since 2003.
