BJP candidate Kailashchand received just one vote from Ward 13 of the Parbatsar municipality in Didwana-Kuchaman district, where he contested the urban local body elections. Congress candidate Hina Khanam won the ward with 376 votes, while Independent Rashid Khan got 195, according to the State Election Commission website.
Kailashchand told PTI he is a voter in Ward 12 but was fielded from Ward 13. "Someone from that ward has voted for me," he said. The Congress won 13 of the municipality's 25 wards, securing a simple majority, while the BJP won 12.
Kailashchand's single-vote tally stood out as counting continued for 309 urban local bodies across Rajasthan, where more than 10,000 councillor posts were at stake. Separately, in Ward 6 of the same municipality, Independent candidate Jagdish Prasad defeated BJP's Ramsharan by one vote, 151 to 150.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All four sources report the same facts neutrally, attributing the candidate's explanation to PTI and the vote figures to the State Election Commission. Times of India adds a separate one-vote victory story about Independent Jagdish Prasad in the same municipality, though the two incidents are unrelated. No source frames the outcome as a party setback or as an anomaly requiring government explanation. The coverage is straight wire-style reporting with no editorial slant.
