One of the 200 assembly seats in Rajasthan is Bamanwas. Currently, this seat is under the control of the Congress, and Indira Meena is the legislator from here.
Talking about the political history of the Bamanwas assembly seat, in the last 5 elections, Congress has won here twice, and BJP has won twice as well. Meanwhile, an independent candidate has emerged victorious once. In 1998, Kirori Lal, a BJP legislator, won the Bamanwas assembly seat. In 2003, independent candidate Hiralal was elected. In 2008, Congress legislator Nawal Kishore was elected. In 2013, BJP legislator Kunjilal was elected. In 2018, Congress’s Indira Meena became the legislator.
The caste dynamics of the Bamanwas assembly seat are quite interesting, the total number of voters here is approximately 215,000. The Meena community voters are around 65,000, while the Scheduled Caste voters are around 40,000. In addition, there are 32,000 voters from the Gurjar community, 25,000 from the Mali community, and 10,000 Brahmin voters. Muslim voters are around 13,000, and Rajput voters are 3,000.
MLA Indira Meena claims that she has undertaken significant development work in the Bamanwas area during her tenure. The government has also gifted this area with welfare schemes. Roads have been laid at a cost of crores, a 132 KV substation has been constructed, an ITI college has been established, and an SP office and Mitrapura police station have been built. Moreover, legislator Indira Meena asserts that she is committed to establishing a trauma centre and a CHC in the area.
This time, the unsolved local issues can cause a major problem for the Congress candidate Indira Meena in the upcoming assembly polls. However, it remains to be seen which party wins the Bamanwas assembly seat.
