In a rare instance, a pair of Sasur and damaad won assembly in . Both are from opposite parties. Congress from Phulera Vidhyadhar Singh Choudhary won the election defeating BJP's Nirmal Kumawat. His son-in-law Shailesh Singh, who is the BJP candidate from Deegh-Kumher won the election defeating Congress' Vishvendra Singh, member of erstwhile royal family of Bharatpur.
