Learn the whole matter of rivalry on SDM here
In 2005, Kanwarlal Meena threatened the then SDM Ramnivas on the issue of re -renovation during the sub -government election in Khatkhedi village of Jhalawar district. He also broke the cassette of government videography. In this case, ADJ Court of Aklera sentenced Meena to three years in December 2020. The Rajasthan High Court upheld this decision on 2 May 2025. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court imposed an interim stay on Meena’s arrest, but dismissed his petition on Wednesday.
Congress raised demands to cancel membership
This case has warmed the politics of Rajasthan. The Congress has demanded immediate cancellation of the assembly membership of BJP MLA Kanwarlal Meena. The Congress delegation led by Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie, PCC Chief Govind Singh Dotasara and Chief Whip Rafiq Khan submitted a memorandum to the Assembly Secretary. Julie said that the Supreme Court’s decision in the Lily Thomas case is clear that the membership of the MP or MLA who has been punished for more than two years should be canceled on the same day. Citing the cancellation of Rahul Gandhi’s membership in 24 hours, he questioned why delay on Meena’s membership?
Assembly Speaker sought legal opinion
Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani has talked about taking legal opinion in this matter. He says that Meena was granted interim bail, so it is necessary to investigate the legal aspects before taking the decision. However, after the latest decision of the Supreme Court, the crisis on Meena’s legislature has deepened. Congress leader Tikaram Julie warned that if the membership of Kanwarlal Meena was not canceled by May 8, the Congress would be forced to take legal action. He said, ‘There should be a law in the country. Rahul Gandhi’s membership was canceled in 24 hours, but why delay in Meena’s case? A certified copy of the High Court’s decision has been submitted to the Legislative Assembly. No more excuses will not run. ‘
Will have to surrender by 21 May
After the Supreme Court’s decision, Kanwarlal Meena will have to surrender by 21 May. The possibility of by -election in Jhalawar region has increased in the event of his legislative cancellation. This case may further increase the conflict between BJP and Congress in the politics of Rajasthan.
