In Rajasthan, the Congress introduced Arvind Damor as its Banswara-Dungarpur Lok Sabha candidate, completing its 25-seat roster. Despite initial plans to nominate former Minister Arjun Singh Bamaniya, he didn’t file nomination papers. Efforts to ally with the Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) failed, leading the BAP to nominate Rajkumar Roat. Meanwhile, the BJP put forward Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya. The emergence of the BAP and Bharatiya Tribal Party (BTP) poses challenges. Roat, known for advocating tribal rights, sought Congress’s support. Congress may reconsider its candidate until April 8. The triangular contest reflects alliance negotiations’ complexities, with BAP’s growing support due to its tribal-centric agenda.
