Kshatriyas in Mewar vow not to vote for BJP

UDAIPUR: At a joint press conference held on Monday in Udaipur, various Kshatriya organisations declared their opposition to BJP in the Lok Sabha elections. Shri Rajput Karni Sena, Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena, Kshatriya Yuva Mahasabha, and others said they would not support BJP in Udaipur, Banswara-Dungarpur, and Chittorgarh Lok Sabha seats in Mewar region.

Representatives of the Kshatriya organisations said they had always supported the BJP, but now the BJP was working to suppress them. They said BJP leaders were making unchecked statements against Kshatriyas and the BJP’s IT cell was branding independent Barmer candidate and Sheo MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati as a traitor. They called it an assault on Kshatriya community by the BJP and warned that they would respond appropriately.

Digvijay Singh Karelia from Vagad Kshatriya Mahasabha, Praveen Singh Jhala, president of Shri Rajput Karni Sena, Jeevan Singh Senwada, president of Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena, and Arjun Singh Chundawat from Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena (Youth) expressed their dismay at the neglect of Kshatriyas by the BJP and other parties claiming to be supporters of Kshatriyas.

They said that while they had boycotted voting in the first phase of Lok Sabha polls, in the second phase they would vote for non-BJP candidates. Other issues raised by the organisations included allegedly derogatory comments by minister Purushottam Rupala towards Kshatriyas and their women, inadequate representation of the Rajput community in the govt, abuse of Rajput women in Chittorgarh, and court warrants issued during election time against Congress’ Jodhpur candidate.
