Jaipur. Barmer’s independent MLA from Shiv Ravindra Singh Bhati has increased the tension of BJP by announcing to contest the Lok Sabha elections. Bhati announced to contest the elections as an independent on Tuesday. Bhati made the announcement at a public meeting in Barmer. Bhati is an independent MLA from Shiv Barmer and is very popular among the youth. Bhati’s announcement has increased the troubles of BJP candidate and Union Minister Kailash Choudhary. Bhati comes from Rajput community.
BJP’s traditional Rajput vote bank may be dented if Bhati contests the elections. Congress has fielded Umedaram in the election field. A situation like 2014 may arise in Barmer when BJP was stuck in a triangular contest due to Jaswant Singh contesting the elections. The contest was between BJP and Jaswant Singh. Although Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma had tried hard to convince Bhati not to contest the elections, he did not agree.
In a public meeting in Barmer, Bhati said, ‘In front of all of you brothers, taking God as witness, I take this pledge that your brother Ravindra Singh Bhati will contest the elections for all you people of 36 communities with the trust of the people of Barmer-Jaisalmer. I am there and will file nomination on April 4.

Earlier the news was that BJP has convinced Bhati. Bhati had frequent meetings with CM Bhajanlal. However, Bhati had said only one thing that whatever the people of Barmer say, he will take further steps. Today he had called a meeting of the entire community. He asked the crowd gathered during the meeting what they should do next. Then announced to contest the elections on the decision of the public.
