Rajasthan Civic Poll: Independent Candidate Wins By One Vote Mother Dies Day After Casting Her Vote

(MENAFN- IANS) Jaipur, Sep 14 (IANS) The results of the Nadbai municipal elections in Rajasthan have brought an emotional twist to the closely contested Ward No. 6, where the difference between victory and defeat was just one vote.

Independent candidate Jagdish Prasad secured 151 votes, defeating BJP candidate Ramsharan, who received 150 votes. With only a single vote separating the two candidates, the result has become a major topic of discussion among residents.

Adding an emotional dimension to Jagdish Prasad's victory, it has been reported that his mother cast her vote on election day and passed away the following day. Her death left the family mourning, even as news of her son's narrow victory emerged.

Following the declaration of the results, residents began discussing the significance of Jagdish Prasad's mother's vote. Her vote came at a crucial moment in an election that ultimately ended with just a one-vote margin.

Jagdish Prasad polled 151 votes, while Ramsharan received 150. A change of even one vote would have reversed the outcome, making every ballot in the ward decisive. Against this backdrop, the vote cast by Jagdish Prasad's mother has taken on special emotional significance for the family and local community.

According to reports, Jagdish Prasad's mother voted in the municipal election and passed away the next day. The family was therefore faced with contrasting emotions of grief over her death and the news of Jagdish Prasad's victory. The fact that he won by only one vote has made the sequence of events particularly poignant.

While several candidates in the municipal elections won by comfortable margins, the Ward No. 6 result stood out for its exceptionally close finish. The final tally of 151 votes to 150 gave Jagdish Prasad victory by a single vote.

Jagdish Prasad defeating a BJP candidate as an independent has also attracted political attention in the ward. For the family, however, the result carries a deeply personal meaning. The final vote cast by Jagdish Prasad's mother just a day before her death is likely to remain an emotional and memorable part of the election story.
