BJP's Swami Sumedhanand vs CPM's Amra Ram in Sikar
Sikar is a major city of Rajasthan and one of the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies. This city is known as Shekhawati. Sikar will see a tough battle between BJP's Swami Sumedhanand and CPM's Amra Ram. It has eight assembly constituencies. Looks like it will be a challenging battle for BJP's Sumedhanand this time to score a hat-trick of victories in Sikar. Every time Congress and CPM field their candidates each from this seat. This time the vote bank of the alliance has become bigger as Congress has this time decided to give this seat to its coalition partner, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), which has a significant influence in certain areas of Sikar. Also anti-incumbency factor is going to be a major factor to impact the elections this time.
