1. Jhotwara- Rajpal Singh Shekhawat (rebel from BJP)
bharatiya janata party has released the list of 41 candidates in rajasthan, out of which jaipur Rural MP
Colonel Rajyavardhan Singh has been made the candidate from Jhotwara, the largest assembly seat. Rajpal
Singh Shekhawat has contested from this seat as an independent candidate. Shekhawat is included in the list
of rebel leaders of BJP. He has been mla twice in the past from Jhotwara assembly constituency and has also
been a minister in the government. Angered by BJP's cancellation of his ticket in this assembly election,
Shekhawat has taken this step.
Jhotwara assembly seat falls in jaipur Rural. There are 4 lakh 20 thousand voters here. This seat is considered
a stronghold of bjp since the last assembly elections. Rajpal Singh Shekhawat had become mla here for two
consecutive terms in the year 2013 and 2018. However, due to public resentment about the mla, bjp had to
lose this seat in the year 2018.
Now, to end this resentment of the public, this time bjp has fielded Colonel Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore. In
such a situation, the entry of Rajpal Singh Shekhawat as an independent candidate can create problems for
BJP. Due to Shekhawat's entry, a triangular equation has been formed in Jhotwara assembly constituency.
2. Didwana- Yunus Khan (BJP rebel)
Before the elections, there was a tussle between parties regarding tickets in Rajasthan. Many leaders seemed
angry due to the ticket being cut, in the same sequence, Vasundhara Raje's confidant Yunus Khan has also
announced to leave the party a few days ago. Yunus Khan had taken this decision after not getting the ticket
from Didwana assembly seat. Khan had said at that time that he would contest the elections as an independent
candidate from Didwana.
In rajasthan politics, Yunus Khan is considered closest to Vasundhara Raje. Apart from this, Yunus Khan has
also been a major minority face of bharatiya janata party in Rajasthan. He has also been mla from Didwana
seat twice. In the last assembly elections, bjp had fielded Khan from Tonk against veteran congress leader
Sachin Pilot. But Pilot won these elections. He was the Transport minister in the previous BJP's Raje
government.
