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.

I can guess a bit what can be the reason of Dr. Singh’s contesting as an indipendent candidate from Jalore. whenever some person has tried to raise a voice against the monopoly of these brahminical minded people in congress or in any other national party, these people have done something wrong to that person. Being in a responsible post and taking right decision itself is a difficult for a rational person in this country. I can understand the agony of Dr. Singh. On each of his right step or decision he has to suffer and I guess that the only reason for that is that he belongs to the Scheduled Caste community. From session court to the high court all the manuvadi judges are looking for just one chance to let Dr. Singh dowm anyhow. If he was a general catagory candidate, I think that the congress party would have never denied him a ticket. In the past, being in different powers, he has taken some bold decision in the favour of the nation buut these manuvadi snacks of the nation can never accept that the country needs Dr. Buta Singh as a national leader. I salute his bold nature and decision making zeal. I salute him.
