Analysis: Hanuman Beniwal Makes a Bold Political Move from Nagaur Ahead of Panchayat Polls – 5 Key Takeaways

Nagaur: As Rajasthan gears up for the upcoming Panchayat and municipal elections, political activity in Nagaur has intensified. Hanuman Beniwal, MP and national convenor of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), has made a significant political play ahead of the polls by focusing on farmers’ issues. The party has stepped up preparations for a grand farmers’ rally scheduled on January 10 in Riyambadi. Here are five key aspects of Beniwal’s latest political strategy:

1. Administrative Approval Sought for Rally
An RLP delegation, including party workers and farmer representatives, met Sub-Divisional Officer Suryakant Sharma to seek permission for the rally on January 10. The delegation informed officials that Hanuman Beniwal would address the public in support of farmers. Given the expected large turnout, the party requested police and administrative cooperation to ensure law and order during the event.

2. Rally Focused on Farmers’ Issues
The rally is being organized to champion farmers’ concerns. It aligns with ongoing six-point demands currently raised through local protests at the sub-divisional headquarters. Key topics on the agenda include crop insurance, agricultural challenges, and rural development issues, highlighting the party’s commitment to agrarian concerns.

3. Grassroots Outreach with Symbolic Gestures
To maximize participation, the RLP has launched an extensive outreach campaign in villages. Party workers have visited multiple villages, including Padukalan, distributing yellow rice as invitations for the rally. Using hundreds of vehicles, the workers are encouraging local farmers and villagers to attend in large numbers on January 10.

4. Positive Response at the Local Level
The grassroots campaign has received a favorable response. Farmers and villagers see the rally as an essential platform to voice long-pending demands. This indicates that political momentum is building in rural areas ahead of the Panchayat elections.

5. Countdown to Panchayat Elections Begins
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court of India has directed the Rajasthan government to conduct Panchayat and municipal elections before April 15, 2026. The court rejected any interference in the existing electoral boundaries, reaffirming earlier orders. With the state administration ramping up election preparations, Beniwal’s rally is being viewed as a significant political statement ahead of the polls.
