Buta Singh will contest Lok Sabha Elections from Jalore as an Independent Candidate
Buta Singh - Independent Candidate from Jalore Lok Sabha Parliamentary Constituency
Senior Congress leader and former MP Buta Singh will fight Lok Sabha election from Jalore, Rajasthan as an Independent Candidate after the Congress party refused him a ticket.
Buta Singh’s Migration from Punjab
Buta Singh migrated to Rajasthan from Punjab during the spurt in terrorist activity in his home State. He had won the Jalore seat three times on Congress ticket and once as an Independent.
Mr. Buta Singh’s sudden interest in Jalore, a Lok Sabha seat comprising the districts of Jalore and Sirohi, seems to stem from the potential in the seat for a candidate other than the nominees of the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The congress party has already declared Sandhya Chaudhary, an OBC representative from Jalore and BJP has nominated Devji Patel from Jalore Seat.
A view on Buta Singh Profile
Born in Jalandhar on March 21, 1934 to the late Bir Singh and Beant Kaur, Buta Singh was educated at Mumbai’s Guru Nanak Khalsa College. He was awarded a BA (Honours) and went on to complete his masters. His profile at the Lok Sabha lists his profession as ‘agriculturist and journalist.’
Buta Singh married the late Manjit Kaur in 1964 and has two sons - Sweety and Lovely and a daughter. His sons exercise more power in present day Bihar than the governor.

About Udaipur constituency
A constituency that has been significantly altered post-delimitation, it is now a mixture of the old Udaipur and Salumber, and is now reserved for Scheduled Tribes. The old Udaipur had a habit of changing hands between the Congress and the BJP, while Salumber was a Congress stronghold which the BJP snatched away in 2004.
Its new status as a Scheduled Tribe constituency has meant that both the Congress and the BJP candidates have had to migrate away.
The assembly elections present a rather bleak scenario for the BJP. Of the eight segments, the BJP has two while the Congress has six.
