Former tourism Minister Vishvendra Singh, commenting on his defeat for the first time after the Legislative Assembly elections on the Deeg-Kumher Assembly seat, said, “Whether Jats are killed by Jats or by destiny.
I was not killed by destiny but by the people of society. No problem. Elections come and go.” In the recent Legislative Assembly elections, he was defeated by Dr. Shailendra Singh of the BJP with 8,479 votes.
He said, “People of all communities voted for me.
I want to thank the Jatav community, who gave me 80 to 90 per cent of the votes. This has never happened before. We have a lack among our Jats. We harbour mutual envy. We are not sad about our sorrows but are saddened by the happiness of others. There is a need to change this sentiment. We should have a competitive spirit. Until this happens, we will not progress. If you ever need me, come to me without hesitation. I have lost the election, but I am not weak.”
The former minister said, “The Jats of Bharatpur and Dholpur were not included in the OBC. I and the public struggled during the previous BJP government.
I remained a minister, but the case of stopping the train is still going on against me. Now we want a reservation in the centre.
The centre argues that the rulers of Dholpur and Bharatpur were from the Jat community. My question is, if Jat rulers were there, was the entire public wealthy?”
