In the by-election held on Anta assembly seat of Rajasthan, Congress has registered an important victory by defeating the ruling party BJP. This victory was not considered easy for Congress, because independent candidate Naresh Meena had made the contest triangular. Despite this, when the election results came out today, Congress’s victory margin was 15,612 votes.
Certainly these results are shocking, but the political story behind this victory points towards a different “coincidence” or “equation”. It has become a common discussion in political circles that whoever made personal attacks on State Congress President (PCC) Govind Singh Dotasara has suffered loss in the political field.
What is ‘Dotasara Sanyog’?
This discussion has become more intense due to Anta by-election. It is being told that during the election campaign, independent candidate Naresh Meena was continuously giving personal statements on Govind Singh Dotasara. Political analysts believe that due to these statements, resentment arose among the farmer class, due to which Naresh Meena had to bear the direct consequences and he lost the election. However, this is not the first time. Many such examples have been seen in the last few elections:
1. Rajendra Rathod (BJP): This sequence started from the 2023 assembly elections. There were heated personal statements during the elections between Rajendra Rathore and Govind Singh Dotasara, a strong leader of BJP and who has been winning 7 consecutive elections. The result was that Rajendra Rathod, who was invincible seven times, lost the election badly. This defeat is still discussed in political circles even today.
2. Kirori Lal Meena (BJP): The matter did not end here. After the assembly elections, by-elections were held on seven seats in the state. Even in these elections, BJP cabinet minister Kirori Lal Meena, who had an enmity with PCC chief Govind Singh Dotasara, could not make even his elder brother Jagmohan Meena win. This defeat happened when there is a BJP government in the state and Kirori Lal himself is a cabinet minister.
3. Hanuman Beniwal (RLP): The latest example is after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Hanuman Beniwal became MP from Nagaur as an ally of India Alliance. But after the Lok Sabha elections, he started making statements regarding Dotasara. When by-elections were held on Khinvsar seat, the Congress high command did not form an alliance with RLP and fielded its own candidate. The result was that Hanuman Beniwal’s wife Kanika Beniwal lost the election.
Anta gave vent to the discussion
Now, after the victory on Anta seat, there is a strong discussion on social media that personally attacking Dotasara is becoming politically costly. It may be just a coincidence, but powerful leaders like Rajendra Rathore, Kirori Lal Meena, Hanuman Beniwal and now Naresh Meena have had to suffer political losses due to this “coincidence”.
