Jaipur, Feb 1 (IBNS): Upsetting the Bharatiya Janata Party and Vasundhara Raje government, the Congress is on the verge of winning all three by-poll seats in Rajasthan, media reports said.

The Congress has overtaken BJP in Lok Sabha seats in Ajmer, Alwar and won the Assembly seat in Mandalgarh, where by-elections were held.

In Alwar, Congress is leading by 59935 votes while in Ajmer the party is ahead of BJP by 26045 votes.

Rajasthan will go to state poll late this year.

By-polls were also held in West Bengal. The ruling Trinamool Congress has continued its dominance in the state.

The TMC swept Noapara Assembly by 63000 votes and is still leading by a massive margin in Uluberia Lok Sabha seat.
