Jaipur, Feb 19 (PTI) BJP's Rajasthan unit president Satish Poonia on Friday said the Congress has lost ground in the state amid its internal rift.

He said the ruling party fears defeat in the upcoming byelections on four assembly seats and that is why the state government is focusing on developmental works in those constituencies going to polls.

“The Congress party is completely insecure and it is fearing defeat in the upcoming bypolls,” he said.

Poonia was addressing the meeting of state presidents of all frontal organisations at the party office here.

He said the chief minister should reduce VAT on petrol and diesel to provide relief to people.

State general secretary Chandrasekhar and other leaders also addressed the meeting.
