Apart from Barmer, the tribal-dominated Banswara seat also witnessed enthusiasm among voters with a voter turnout of 70.20 per cent. Long queues missing in the first phase were seen on Friday at several booths. BJP was in a strong position in the assembly election on all the 13 seats. Better voting percentage on these seats is being considered a good sign for BJP though experts believe there has been a mixed response of voters towards voting in both phases, which shows that it may be difficult for BJP to achieve a clean sweep in Rajasthan for the third consecutive time.
