Siyasat Ka Sensex: Contest between ex-royal and a Mahant in Alwar

Rajasthan's royals continue to try their luck at the hustings with three scions of the erstwhile royal families spicing up the Lok Sabha polls in the desert land.
This time, three members of the erstwhile royal families are testing their might in the people's court. Their fates will be decided in two phases of polling on April 29 and May 6.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Mahant Balak Nath is taking on scion of erstwhile rulers of Alwar Jitendra Singh, who was an MP from here in 2009. In 2014, Balak Nath’s guru Mahant Chand Nath defeated Singh by over 200,000 votes.
