Sachin Pilot, with significant sway in Dausa, Deoli-Uniyara, and Jhunjhunu, has seen candidates fielded in these regions on his recommendation. Retaining these seats would enhance Pilot’s influence, while a loss could diminish his standing in the party.Hanuman Beniwal, RLP leader and long-time representative of Khinvsar since 2008, is now fielding his wife, Kanika Beniwal, from the same seat. Despite a narrow victory margin of 2,059 votes in 2023, Beniwal faces a strong challenge from the BJP’s Revatram Danga, along with additional pressure from Congress.Over 1.9 million voters (1 million men and 900,000 women) were eligible to vote. Dausa and Khinvsar lead with 12 candidates each, while Salumbar has the fewest at six. Chaurasi and Ramgarh each have 10 candidates, Jhunjhunu has 11, and Deoli-Uniara has eight.The race is triangular in most constituencies:- Jhunjhunu: Rajendra Bhambu (BJP), Amit Ola (Congress), and Independent Rajendra Gudha.- Khinvsar: Revantram Danga (BJP), Ratan Chaudhary (Congress), and Kanika Beniwal (RLP).- Chaurasi: Karilal Nanoma (BJP), Mahesh Roat (Congress), and Anil Katara (BAP).- Salumbar: Shanta Devi (BJP), Reshma Meena (Congress), and Jitesh Katara (BAP).- Deoli-Uniara: Rajendra Gurjar (BJP), KC Meena (Congress), and Independent Naresh Meena.Direct battles are expected in:- Dausa, between Jagmohan Meena (BJP) and Deendayal Bairwa (Congress).- Ramgarh, between Sukhwant Singh (BJP) and Aryan Zubair Khan (Congress).As the countdown to the results begins, these political heavyweights await the decision of the voters, with their reputations on the line.
