The Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) on Saturday entered the fray in Rajasthan with the announcement of its first list, comprising 10 candidates, for the November 25 Assembly election. RLP convener and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal will contest the polls at Khinvsar, from where he had resigned after being elected to Lok Sabha in 2019.
The RLP released its list two days after entering into an alliance with the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) led by Chandrashekhar Azad. Mr. Beniwal said the two parties would jointly wage a struggle to secure the rights of Dalits and backward and underprivileged people. The new alliance is likely to put up a fight at about 100 of the 200 Assembly seats.
