Banswara Seat: The Banswara seat has become a point of contention between the BAP and Congress. While the Congress had earlier decided to be in alliance with BAP in Banswara, friction remains amongst the candidates.

Conclusion: A video of BAP candidate Rajkumar Roat's rally in Banswara is falsely being shared as one from Indore showing an anti-Modi rally.
