AIUDF’s Sonai LAC candidate Karim Uddin Barbhuiya said that the five-six BJP candidates had sent feelers about their plan of action once the poll results are declared.
Barbhuiya was among the 18 candidates from Badruddin AIUDF whom the party had sent to Jaipur in the last week.
“AIUDF candidates are not scared of horse-trading. We did go to Jaipur together and also visited Ajmer Sharif, but that was only to relax. Our candidates were suffering from fatigue after weeks of campaigning,” TOI quoted Barbhuiya as saying.

“My colleagues are still there in Jaipur on their own. Whether they wish to prolong their stay or return is up to them,” he said.
