BJP MLA in Rajasthan disqualified after conviction; Anta seat fate hinges on SC verdict



In a post on X, Dotasara wrote, “Satyamev Jayate. After immense pressure from the Congress Party and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie’s contempt petition in the Supreme Court, the membership of convicted BJP MLA Kanwarlal Meena had to be canceled. The Constitution is supreme in a democracy. We will continue reminding the RSS-BJP leadership of this truth.”Tikaram Julie alleged that attempts were made to shield Meena following the Rajasthan High Court’s decision to uphold the three-year sentence. “Our fight was to protect the dignity of the Constitution and the Assembly’s procedures,” he said. “The Speaker unnecessarily delayed the decision. Kanwarlal Meena remained an MLA even while serving jail time, which has brought disgrace to the Assembly.”Speculations on Anta by-election candidates have already begun. With Meena’s disqualification, political speculation has begun over potential candidates for a possible by-election in the Anta constituency.One name doing the rounds is that of Naresh Meena, a young leader currently in jail for allegedly slapping the SDM. A native of Chhabra—geographically close to Anta—Naresh is being viewed as a potential BJP contender if a by-election is held.
