Gandhi will lead from the front; he will give the message of victory to the party workers and will tell how we are going to campaign in the next three months,” Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot said. He said the Congress workers will give the party president a historical welcome. “Gandhi is coming to Rajasthan for the first time after becoming the Congress president. It is the city where he was elevated as the vice-president of the Congress party, so this place has a lot of significance for the party,” he said. He said the BJP was already anxious about losing the elections. “The BJP has always claimed that Jaipur is a city where it remained strong but we will prove them wrong tomorrow. The BJP is already nervous and making accusations and giving misleading statements,” he told PTI.

The outcome of the poll also suggested that the BJP will win the Lok Sabha elections next year. The BJP, which had won 163 seats in the 2013 Rajasthan Assembly election, will only win 57 this time around, while the Congress' seat count will rise to 130 from a mere 21 in 2013, the opinion poll suggested. In Madhya Pradesh, the BJP had won 165 seats in 2013, but the poll predicted that its seat count would come down to 106 and that the Congress will win 117, which is more than twice its 2013 count of 53. The poll also predicted that Chhattisgarh, which will go to polls later this year, will show a similar trend. The Congress will likely increase its seat count in the state from 39 to 54, while the BJP's count will fall to 33 this time around from 49 in the previous election. In all three states, the Congress is seen getting a clear majority in the Assembly elections. However, the 28,000 respondents of the opinion poll voted differently when it came to the Lok Sabha election and selected the BJP as the apparent winner.

At present, the Grand Old Party has governments in just four states – Karnataka (in coalition with JDS); Punjab, Puducherry and Mizoram. All three states are currently ruled by the BJP – Rajasthan under Vasundhara Raje, Madhya Pradesh under Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and Chhattisgarh under Raman Singh However, the survey predicts that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is still the first choice for the top post, while Congress chief comes distant second. Despite the loss in the Assembly Elections, the survey says the Modi factor will help BJP in these states during the Lok Sabha polls. Meanwhile, seeking to evolve a consensus on holding simultaneous election to Lok Sabha and state assemblies, the government is mulling convening an all-party meeting on the issue after the Law Commission recommends a legal framework on the matter. Sources in the government said an all-party meeting could be convened in the coming days to widen the ambit of discussion among politicians on the issue of simultaneous polls. But no final decision has been taken as yet on convening the meet. The government, they said, is awaiting the report of the law panel which would lay down the legal framework of holding the two elections together. They said once the report is with the government, it will have broad talking points.<doc-sep>
