As soon as polling ended in Sirohi, BJP and Congress have intensified efforts to secure their candidates. There is talk of fencing by both parties around Ranakpur.
Given the majority figures and potential poaching, discussions about securing the candidates have intensified at the level of both BJP and Congress.
It is being discussed that the Congress candidates for the Sirohi Municipal Council have been lodged in a large resort about 65 kilometers away from the city. This is being seen as an exercise to maintain unity before the results.
An exclusive video captured by ThinQ 360's camera shows the movement of a convoy associated with the Congress candidates. It is being said that the convoy reached a large resort.
However, there has been no official confirmation of the candidates staying there at any level yet.
Meanwhile, a vehicle was seen returning towards Shivganj near the Sirohi toll, carrying a crate of about 12 water bottles. This movement has also sparked political discussions, linking it to the fencing.
However, it is not possible to reach any firm conclusion based solely on the movement of this vehicle.
On the other hand, there are discussions that the BJP candidates are also being taken out of Sirohi and kept in the vicinity of the Ranakpur area.
In political circles, this is being seen as a strategy to keep the candidates united until the results and to protect them from potential poaching.
There are also talks of some independent candidates being moved to safe locations after the polling.
Meanwhile, the movement of supporters continues at the BJP and Congress offices. The candidates and their supporters are busy calculating ward-wise voting percentages, potential votes, and win-loss statistics.
Everyone is claiming their own victory, but the real decision will only be known after the EVMs are opened.
Which party will get the majority in the Sirohi Municipal Council and who will be crowned the head of the board will be decided on September 14 after the counting of votes.
For now, the EVMs are in the strong room, the candidates' heartbeats are racing, and the political parties' eyes are fixed on the arithmetic of every single vote. This phase of fencing before the results indicates that the real political battle in Sirohi has now moved from the polling stations to the strategy of forming the board.
