Rajasthan minister Surendra Pal Singh on Monday lost an assembly byelection in Karanpur by a margin of 11,283 votes to his Congress rival Rupinder Singh Kooner, in a result that came as an embarrassment to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) only weeks after it formed the government in the state.
