Udaipur , one of Rajasthan 's 25 Lok Sabha constituencies, is reserved for Scheduled Tribes . In 2019, it had 2,069,559 electors, with 1,454,518 valid votes. Arjunlal Meena of the Bharatiya Janata Party clinched victory with 871,548 votes, defeating Indian National Congress ' Raghuvir Singh Meena by 437,914 votes.
In the 2014 elections , Udaipur had 1,817,940 electors and 1,193,202 valid votes. Arjunlal Meena won again with 660,373 votes, defeating Raghuvir Singh by 236,762 votes.
BJP ’s decision to field Mannalal Rawat from Udaipur has reportedly caused discomfort in the party’s state unit. Rawat, a former employee of the Rajasthan State Roadways and Transport Corporation (RSRTC), has caused consternation due to his relative inexperience in electoral politics.
His nomination was a “calculated risk”, sources had said TOI, adding that local leaders were not taken into confidence on Rawat’s candidature.
The state has three seats reserved for STs—Banswara, Udaipur, and Dausa. Of the three, Banswara and Udaipur come under the Tribal Sub-Plan area, where tribals are regarded as indigenous. The nomination of two candidates who don’t enjoy popular support in BJP and benching of two sitting tribal MPs, Kanakmal Katara (Banswara) and Arjunlal Meena (Udaipur), is added to the unease in the state unit.
Rawat’s elevation, owing to his silent support for the RSS tribal body, Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad, didn't go well with local party leaders. Sitting MP, Arjun Lal Meena, did not fare well in the party’s internal survey, and Udaipur Rural MLA Phool Singh Meena, a close aide of Assam governor Gulabchand Kataria, was projected as the party face.
Both the sitting MPs—Kanakmal Katara and Arjunlal Meena—and other party leaders have welcomed the party decision. But putting them to work for the party candidates in the Lok Sabha polls will not be that easy.
Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) has set the stage for the upcoming elections by announcing Prakash Chandra Buj as its contender for the Udaipur Lok Sabha seat.
BAP, led by national president Mohanlal Rot, is gearing up to contest on eight seats in Rajasthan and a total of thirty seats across the country, with further candidate announcements pending.
Buj’s candidature followed a rigorous process, with his claim garnering the maximum support of 222 votes under the party's selection system, said BAP leaders in Udaipur.
