The politics of Rajasthan once again seems to be slipping for BJP, where former minister Mahendrajit Singh Malviya has resigned from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and expressed his desire to return to Congress. On January 11, Malviya met top state leaders of Congress in Jaipur. He clearly said that the poor and tribals are not being heard in the BJP government. While talking to the media, he called his return to Congress a homecoming.

Reasons and allegations for leaving BJP

Explaining the reason behind leaving BJP, Mahendrajit Singh Malviya said that despite being in power, he could not get the work done for the people. According to him, NMREGA payments are pending for months and farmers are not getting fertilizers on time. He wrote letters to the Chief Minister and the State President several times, but no solution was found.

Malviya said that there is no one in the BJP government who listens to the poor and the tribal class. He also admitted that he was feeling suffocated in BJP and there was a lack of respect there.

Congress leadership’s response

In the meeting held at the Constitution Club in Jaipur, Malviya met Congress General Secretary Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, PCC President Govind Singh Dotasara and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie. PCC President Dotasara said that he has received Malviya’s letter, in which he has called leaving the Congress a historical mistake. According to Dotasara, Malviya said that Congress always respected him and he believes in the policies of the party. The matter has been sent to the disciplinary committee, which will submit the report to the high command and the final decision will be taken from there.

Congress is not a new party for me- Mahendrajit Singh Malviya

Mahendrajit Singh Malviya said that Congress is not a new party for him, because he has worked in Congress for 40 years. He has held many positions like Sarpanch, Pradhan, MP, District Chief, MLA and Minister. According to the report of Indian Express, he had joined BJP in the hope of development in the name of double engine government, but coordination could not be achieved there. After introspection and consultation with workers, he decided to return to Congress.

Amidst the brouhaha over Aravalli, a big statement from Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has come out. He has announced that no permission will be given for any kind of tampering regarding Aravali. CM said that no new mining lease will be issued.

Actually, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma had arrived in Jhalawar on Monday (22 December) to participate in a program. During this, he also targeted the Congress party including former CM Ashok Gehlot. CM said that Congress party leaders including Ashok Gehlot are trying to mislead people by posting DP of Save Aravalli. Aravalli will not be saved just by changing the DP, but strong will power will have to be shown for it. He also accused the Congress party of misleading the people.

Let us tell you that today there were demonstrations in more than a dozen districts in Rajasthan regarding the issue of Aravalli, and there was uproar at some places. It is expected that after today’s announcement by CM Bhajanlal Sharma, the protests may reduce somewhat.

Hope CM will stick to his statement – ​​Congress

However, the Congress party has also made political targets regarding this. Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan Assembly Tikaram Julie has said that this is the first time that CM Bhajan Lal has said something on his own free will without getting the slip from Delhi. We hope that he will stick to his statement and will put pressure on the central government to change the rules regarding Aravalli.

According to Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie, the CM had to make this announcement due to the pressure of the public movement taking place in the entire state, if CM Bhajanlal Sharma and his government do not stick to their statement then the Congress Party will protest strongly.

hope the movement will stop

However, after today’s statement of CM Bhajan Lal Sharma, it is expected that the ruckus in Rajasthan regarding Aravalli will subside to some extent. It can be said that CM Bhajanlal Sharma has tried to control the damage regarding Aravali. He has made such an announcement that even Congress has been forced to welcome it.

Former Deputy CM of Rajasthan and senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot has expressed concern about fake videos made with AI. Expressing his disappointment, he said that I am putting this forward, fake AI videos still have a long way to go. He has also shared the post of ‘D-Intent Data’, in which the altered video and the original video have been mentioned.

While sharing the video of Sachin Pilot, ‘D-Intent Data’ wrote, “Pakistani propaganda accounts are circulating a digitally modified video of Indian politician Sachin Pilot, falsely claiming that he had said that he was ready for the India-Pakistan debate at Oxford Union but backed out under pressure from the Modi government. These claims are completely false and fabricated. The video has been digitally manipulated and has been created by Pakistani propaganda networks as part of the ongoing disinformation campaign against India.

Putting this out there.

FAKE AI videos still have a long way to go..! https://t.co/Cs4XNDcoAw

— Sachin Pilot (@SachinPilot) November 29, 2025

What is Sachin Pilot saying in the original video?

The original video of Sachin Pilot has also been shared in the post. In this he is saying, “I wanted to meet Vinod Jakhar, who is the President of NSUI Rajasthan, inside the jail. He has been detained, section has been imposed on him. Wanted to do Shastra Puja in the university through RSS, which Vinod Jakar opposed. Lathicharge was also done on him.

Vinod Jakhar was targeted – Sachin Pilot

In the video, the Congress leader is seen saying further, “In a way, Vinod Jakhar has been targeted because he comes from a Dalit family.” I tried to meet him in jail but I was not allowed to meet him. I have faith in the judiciary, we will get justice but it is wrong to harass, torture and target anyone.

Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Saturday (November 29) accused the Election Commission of creating fear and doubt among voters during the ongoing Special Intensive Review (SIR) of the voter list. He alleged that undue pressure on field staff and rushed deadlines indicate that there is something wrong with the process.

Speaking to the media in Jaipur, Pilot said that although SIR has been conducted many times in the past, it has never generated public concern like this year.

He further said, “SIR has been conducted many times before in this country, but there was never any discussion or doubt in the minds of people.” He reiterated that for the first time the attitude of the Election Commission has created concern among the citizens.

‘Officials involved in the SIR process are under immense pressure’

Congress leader Sachin Pilot alleged, “Names have been removed in Bihar and the officers involved in the current process are under immense pressure.” In many states, people are under stress and some are even committing suicide due to the pressure. He alleged that this is a clear sign that something is going wrong.

‘EC should work as an independent institution’

The former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan also said, “The Election Commission should work as an independent institution. Revision of voter list is the work of the Commission, not of any political party. Congress is running a nationwide campaign to ensure that no vulnerable citizen loses his or her franchise.

Action taken under political pressure is unacceptable-Pilot

He stressed that we want to ensure that the poor, Dalits, tribals and the elderly are not deprived of their constitutional franchise due to lack of awareness or someone’s intention to remove their names. He warned that any action taken under political pressure would be unacceptable. Pilot said, “The Election Commission should work impartially. If he works under the pressure of any ideology, government or leader, it will not be acceptable to the public or the Congress.

NDA may have secured a huge majority in Bihar, but in Rajasthan, Shinde faction of Shiv Sena has given it a clear ultimatum. Shiv Sena Shinde faction says that it will field its candidates on all the seats in the municipal and panchayat elections to be held soon in Rajasthan. If BJP contests the elections together and gives it some seats then it will be fine, otherwise the party will field its candidates on all the seats and will contest the elections alone. The party has also expressed a strong reaction regarding the conversion case in Kota.

Shiv Sena increased activism in Rajasthan

After three MLAs joined the party in Rajasthan last year, the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena has increased the party’s activism in the state. The party has now decided to field candidates on all the seats in the municipal and panchayat elections to be held soon in Rajasthan. State party president Prahlad Singh and youth unit president Sachin Singh Gaur clearly say that being a political party, it will be our compulsion to field candidates in local level elections. If we do not contest elections, our party workers will sit at home.

‘BJP should give us fair share’

State President Prahlad Singh and Youth Wing State President Sachin Singh Gaur say that the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena is a part of the NDA. We would like BJP to give us a fair share in the local body elections of Rajasthan. We want to contest elections in alliance with BJP, but if BJP does not give us sufficient number of seats then we will contest elections alone. Our alliance is in the Center and Maharashtra. It is for Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, but it is our compulsion to contest Panchayat and civic elections.

‘Our party will contest elections under any circumstances’

The party leader said that if BJP does not come together then Shinde faction of Shiv Sena will contest alone. Our party will contest elections under any circumstances. Leaders said that party president and Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde has also organized a meeting with prominent leaders of the state on December 15 regarding the local body elections of Rajasthan. Leaders said that today a large number of workers from other parties have joined Shiv Sena. Many people have also been given responsibility.

What did the party say on the issue of conversion?

Shiv Sena Shinde faction has reacted sharply to the incident of Christian missionary in Kota, Rajasthan terming the state government as ‘the rule of Satan’ and instigating people for religious conversion. State President Prahlad Singh and State President of Youth Wing Sachin Singh Gaur have clearly said that if concrete action is not taken soon by the government in this matter, then Shiv Sena workers will work with sticks and shoes in their hands to teach a lesson to the culprits. It will be told to them publicly that Rajasthan is not ruled by Satan but by Ramraj. They will also be made to chant the name of Ram. The law will take its course but Shiv Sena workers will do their work and will teach a befitting lesson to those trying to convert.

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”.

Counting of votes for the by-election on Rajasthan’s Anta assembly seat will take place on Friday amid tight security arrangements. Voting was held on Tuesday for Anta assembly seat in Baran district.

An election department official said, ‘The counting of votes will take place on November 14 in the seminar hall of Government Post Graduate College, Baran. During this period, there will be strict security arrangements and the entire campus will be monitored through CCTV cameras.”

80.21 percent voting took place in this by-election. There are a total of 2,28,264 voters in this area. It is noteworthy that this seat has become vacant due to the disqualification of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Kanwarlal Meena.

Anta by-election: 8th by-election in Rajasthan

The ruling BJP has made Morpal Suman its candidate for this by-election. Former minister Pramod Jain Bhaya is contesting from the Congress side. A total of 15 candidates are in the election race, including independent Naresh Meena. Naresh Meena had contested the by-election from Deoli-Uniara assembly seat in Tonk district last year and was accused of slapping an officer on election duty and threatening voters.

This is the eighth assembly by-election in Rajasthan under the Bhajan Lal Sharma-led BJP government that came to power in December 2023.

By-elections were held on seven assembly seats in November last year. By-elections were held on five assembly seats due to MLAs being elected as MPs in the Lok Sabha elections held in May 2024. By-elections were held on two seats due to the death of sitting MLAs. The ruling BJP had won five of those seven seats.

The ruling BJP currently has 118 MLAs in the state’s 200-seat assembly. Congress has 66 MLAs, Bharat Adivasi Party has four, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has two and Rashtriya Lok Dal has one MLA.

This time there has been surprising voting in the by-election held on Anta assembly seat of Rajasthan. This time voters came out of their homes with great enthusiasm and voted for their favorite leader. In such a situation, Anta’s voter turnout was more than 80 percent, due to which a new record has been created. Former Chief Minister of Rajasthan and senior BJP leader Vasundhara Raje has also expressed happiness regarding this.

Former CM Vasundhara Raje expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the voters of Anta. Actually, Vasundhara Raje’s reputation is at stake on this seat, because she has been an MP from here. At present Vasundhara Raje’s son Dushyant is the MP from here.

What did Vasundhara Raje say to the voters of Anta?

Vasundhara Raje said, “Respected voters, I would like to express my gratitude to you for the enthusiasm with which you have voted peacefully. I am confident that your support will remain constant and together we will play an important role in the development of Anta assembly constituency.”

There were 15 candidates in the electoral fray of Anta.

In fact, more than 80 percent votes were cast in Anta constituencies of Rajasthan. There were 15 candidates in the fray in the Anta by-election, mainly the contest was between BJP’s Morpal Suman and Congress candidate and former minister Pramod Jain Bhaya. Anta assembly seat had fallen vacant after BJP MLA Kanwar Lal Meena was disqualified following his conviction in a criminal case.

More than 80 percent voting took place in the by-election in Anta assembly seat of Baran district in Rajasthan. Voting took place from 7 am to 6 pm at all 268 polling stations and the estimated turnout was 80.32 percent. There are a total of 2,28,264 voters in this assembly constituency, which include 1,16,783 males and 1,11,477 females. Counting of votes will take place on November 14.

At many places, voters stood patiently in long queues and waited for their turn to vote. Old age people, disabled people and women voters also did not lag behind in casting their votes. At the same time, new voters exercising their franchise for the first time reached the polling stations with full enthusiasm. Many men and women arrived in traditional attire to participate in the festival of democracy.

The voting figures in the by-election held on Anta assembly seat surprised everyone. Somewhere the results may also be shocking. Generally, voting percentage does not increase in by-elections, but in the triangular contest on this seat, voter turnout was quite high. Voting was around 82 percent. In such a situation, it remains to be seen in whose favor the results will be on this seat.

However, the results of Anta by-election will come only on November 14, but before that we have tried to understand it. After all, in whose favor is this result going to be?

Did Naresh Meena cause harm to Congress?

Regarding election mathematics, journalist Shashi Mohan Sharma said that there will be a direct contest between BJP and Congress. However, Naresh Meena will also benefit to some extent from the increased voting percentage. Despite this, the direct contest is between BJP and Congress. Explaining the reason, the journalist said that it was not easy to make a dent in the voters of BJP. Mali voters, Brahmins, Vaishya and Dhakad community are the core voters of BJP. Here Congress and Naresh Meena could not make a dent. Naresh Meena has certainly caused harm to the Congress, but he could not influence voters other than the Meena community.

Vasundhara Raje made the path easy for BJP?

Journalist Awadhesh Pareek said that Congress has directly suffered loss due to Naresh Meena contesting the elections. Congress voters have shifted towards Naresh Meena to a great extent, regarding the increased voting percentage he said that it can be beneficial for Naresh Meena. Both the opposition leaders made the allegations of corruption against the Congress candidate an issue. Congress did not have a counter to this, due to which the common voter shifted. Here now there is a direct contest between BJP and Naresh. Taking charge of Vasundhara Raje’s front is also considered very important.

In the end, Congress will remain in third place?

Journalist Vivek Srivastava said that the results will be quite shocking. The increased voting is definitely going to be in favor of Naresh Meena. Regarding Congress, he said that Congress could not win the elections from the beginning. More than the issues, the allegations against the Congress candidate remained dominant till the end. BJP voters remained there but there has been a dent in the Congress votes. Naresh Meena has influenced the youth of other castes besides his own community. More than 85% voting in rural areas is indicating the results in favor of Naresh Meena, here there is a direct contest between Naresh and BJP. Congress will remain in third place.

Triangular competition also expected

Apart from this, journalist Ramesh Kumawat said that more than 80% voting in Anta has increased the concerns of BJP and Congress. The main fight is taking place between BJP’s Morpal Suman and independent Naresh Meena. Although Pramod Jain Bhaya of Congress is an expert player of politics, he is a capable leader in every way. It has its own vote bank irrespective of caste equations. In such a situation, the contest should be considered triangular.
