Jitendra Singh - Congress Candidate for Alwar Lok Sabha Seat

Jitendra Singh, a two-time MLA, is the Congress Candidate for Alwar Lok Sabha Seat.

Jitendra Singh will contest against BJP’s Kiran Yadav

Jitendra will face a tough time against BJP’s Kiran Yadav. Mr Singh had initially pulled out from the contest citing bad health but did a flip-flop to fight this fierce battle.

He has a strong hold over the land of King Bhartrihari, a religious place in Alwar, and is likely to have an advantage after the withdrawal of BSP’s Haji Mohammed.

Jitendra Singh – Yuvaraja of Alwar

Jitendra Pratap Singh was born on 12 June 1971 in Alwar, Rajasthan to  Shri Pratap Singh of Alwar & Mahendra Kumari. He is the grandson of Tej Singh, the former ruler of Alwar.

In 1976, Jitendra Singh’s father was mysteriously killed while under siege from government tax inspectors during the Indian Emergency, thus leaving Jitendra Singh as the Yuvaraja or heir apparent, to the Alwar throne.

Educational Profile

He was educated first at Wynberg Allen School, Mussoorie and then at the Doon School in Dehra Dun, and received a B.Com. from Mayo College Ajmer, Rajasthan. He then pursued higher studies at the University of Birmingham in Birmingham, UK, and returned to India afterwards.

Alwar Parliamentary Constituency

An old royal state in the north-east of Rajasthan, this constituency will witness a straight battle between the Congress and the BJP.

In the last four Lok Sabha elections, the Congress has won thrice here, while the BJP has won once. However, Alwar has a reputation for narrow victory margins, and this time promises to be no different either.

Both Congress and the BJP have replaced all their usual candidates, viz, Jaswant Singh Yadav, and Smt. Mahendra Kumari.
