The Congress in Rajasthan believes there is "extreme resentment" towards Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje which will lead to her losing the upcoming elections and the BJP facing an unprecedented defeat in the state.

Assembly elections in the state are scheduled to be held on December 7 and counting will take place on December 11.

Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson and Jaipur Congress president Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said the people's sentiments have shifted towards the Congress and party president Rahul Gandhi's visits have created a momentum in favour of the party.

"The CM and her several ministers are going to lose the elections this time. There is extreme resentment among public towards the chief minister who did not meet people during her entire tenure and is now going to the masses just to seek votes," he told PTI here Tuesday.

Khachariyawas said the Rafale deal had become a topic of discussion in every household and people wanted answers from the prime minister and his government.

"The Congress president is raising the Rafale issue strongly and the PM and the government have no answer and therefore, they are quiet," he said ahead of Congress president Rahul Gandhi's two-day visit to the state beginning Wednesday from Jhalawar.

"Rahul Gandhi is getting huge support in the state and the BJP's situation is worsening day by day. The BJP has been exposed because even after getting such a vast mandate in last Assembly elections, the government did not fulfil its promises and betrayed the people," Khachariyawas said.

In the 2013 Assembly elections, the BJP won 163 out of 200 seats in the state while the Congress's tally was 21.
