Dausa : Jagmohan Meena, brother of Bhajan Lal government’s cabinet minister Kirodilal Meena, has lost the election in Dausa, the much talked about seat of Rajasthan by-elections. Jagmohan Meena was defeated by Congress candidate Deendayal Bairwa (DC Bairwa) by a margin of 2300 votes. This seat remained a question of prestige for BJP. But she could not save her reputation here. The reason behind this is also being believed to be due to internal conflict. Because here no one publicly protested against Meena’s brother being given the ticket, but there is anger within the party.
Veteran Congress leader Sachin Pilot also has a lot of influence on Dausa seat. Sachin himself, his father Rajesh Pilot and mother Rama Pilot have been MPs from here. Many reasons were being cited for giving ticket to Kirori Lal Meena’s brother in Dausa. The biggest reason was believed to be to remove the ongoing resentment from Kirodilal’s party. Kirodilal Meena had resigned from the post of minister several months ago. It is a different matter that it has not been approved yet.
BJP was hopeful that Kirori Lal would snatch the seat from Congress.
It is being told that there was a belief in the party about Kirodilal Meena, who was known for his fighting spirit and habit of fighting from the streets to the House, that he would snatch this seat from the jaws of Congress. By giving the ticket to his brother, Kirodilal’s resentment will go away. But this strategy of BJP did not work here and it lost again. Dausa seat was with Congress earlier also. This seat had become vacant after Dausa’s Congress MLA Murarilal became MP.
Now new political equations are likely to be formed here.
With BJP’s defeat in Dausa, new political equations are now likely to be formed here. His defeat in the area dominated by Kirodilal Meena will raise questions on him. Now some big update may also come regarding the resignation of Kirori Lal Meena. Congress is excited here due to the defeat of the brother of the cabinet minister of the state government. He has called it a failure of the government. Congress alleges that the government could not do anything in 11 months, hence it had to face defeat here.
