In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Congress allied with the INDIA bloc and fielded Hanuman Beniwal as its candidate from the Khinwsar Assembly constituency.
Beniwal won the election and was elected as an MP due to which the MLA seat was left vacant. Hence bypolls were announced on the seat in which Beniwal demanded two seats from Congress for the alliance, however, Congress denied and fielded its candidate Ratan Chaudhary from here.
BJP has fielded Rewant Ram from the Khinwsar seat.
A triangular contest for the upcoming Assembly elections will be held in Jaipur on November 13 and the results will be announced on November 23.
