For the 2017 assembly elections, the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) has unveiled its first list of ten candidates. Hanuman Beniwal, the party’s convenor and Lok Sabha MP, is also running for the seat of Khinvsar.
The party list states that Pukhraj Garg, the current MLA for Bhopalgarh, and Indira Devi Bawri, the MLA for Merta, will run in the elections.
Narayan Beniwal, the MP’s brother, is the Khinvsar MLA. He did not get a ticket from Khinvsar from the party. Not a single one of his names appears on this list. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the RLP was a member of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), but they broke away after the Centre imposed the divisive agricultural legislation.
Lachharam Badrada of Parbatsar, Revatram Panwar of Kolayat, Badrilal Jat of Sahada, Umedaram Beniwal of Baytu, Lalchand Mund of Sardarshahar, Mahesh Saini of Sanganer, and Ajay Trivedi of Jodhpur city have all received tickets from the RLP.
In the 2018 assembly elections, Hanuman Beniwal became victorious from Khinvsar. But he did win the Nagaur Lok Sabha seat in 2019. The RLP’s Narayan Beniwal won the by-election for the position. For the state’s 2023 assembly elections, the RLP and the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram), headed by Chandrashekhar Azad, have declared their partnership.
Hanuman Beniwal said earlier this month that the RLP anticipates a fierce battle for perhaps 100 of Rajasthan’s 200 assembly seats. In Rajasthan, voting is scheduled on November 25. On December 3, there will be a vote count.
