Kiran Maheshwari - BJP candidate for Ajmer Parliamentary Constituency of Rajasthan
Kiran Maheshwari for Ajmer Parliamentary Constituency, Rajasthan Elections
Kiran Maheshwari is the BJP Candidate for Ajmer Parliamentary Constituency of Rajasthan State in General Elections India 2009. She will Contest against Congress candidate Sachin Pilot.
Political Career
Maheshwari had won from Udaipur Lok Sabha seat in 2004 against Congress leader Girija Vyas, but after delimitation Udaipur became a Scheduled Tribe seat. She resigned as MP late last year and successfully contested the Assembly elections from Rajsamand. Barely four months after her election as an MLA, she is now again aspiring to be an MP from Ajmer.
After getting Nominated as a Candidate, she claimed that after winning the elections, she would solve every problem of the district and her preferences are to extend the broad gauge in Ajmer and provide 24 hours drinking water supply.
When asked if her being an MLA and now vying for the Ajmer seat could send a wrong message to voters in her assembly seat, she replied, “I am not the only MP who is contesting elections while being an MLA. There are many political leaders who while being MLAs are in fray for Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.”
Why She is Nominated from Ajmer?
Kiran’s candidature reflects that party had difficulty in finding a suitable candidate against Sachin Pilot, who is contesting from Ajmer after a major chunk of Gujjar vote bank was attached to the constituency after delimitation.
But BJP analysts have other things in mind that Kiran would help Rasa Singh Rawat who is contesting from Rajsamand and in return Rawat would provide his Rawat community vote bank.
Rasa Singh Rawat has won the Ajmer seat five times in past elections because of Rawat vote bank.
