RLP to field candidates in all 4 assembly seats
Description
Jaipur: Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) chief Hanuman Beniwal on Wednesday said he would field four candidates for the four assembly bypolls in Sahara, Rajsamand, Vallabnagar and Sujangarh. Beniwal said his candidates would give an able alternative to voters of the poll-bound constituencies. He reminded the BJP that most of the Lok Sabha seats won by the party had the contribution of RLP workers. Beniwal had joined the NDA before the Lok Sabha polls in 2018 and quit the alliance in 2020 over farm laws.Beniwal accused chief minister Ashok Gehlot and former CM Vasundhara Raje of being hand-in-glove with each other. “Why Gehlot is not taking action against Raje makes it clear that both have a tacit understanding of not harming each other during their terms. This association is a betrayal of trust of the people in the state,” said Beniwal. Taking a jibe at the BJP national president JP Nadda’s visit to Jaipur, Beniwal said Nadda should be in the poll-bound states like West Bengal. “His visit here proves that there is a divide within the party over power struggle,” said Beniwal, who is a vocal critic of Raje.
