The standoff between BJP and RLP escalates as the state government decreases security for Nagaur MP and RLP leader Hanuman Beniwal. Beniwal criticized the government’s move, stating he never requested security and believed that the support of Rajasthan’s youth was sufficient for his protection. He revealed that eight security personnel, including commandos with AK-47 rifles, were assigned to him during the Sub-Inspector recruitment examination controversy.
Beniwal questioned the government’s decision to withdraw security and raised concerns about the initial provision and subsequent removal of security. He accused the government of orchestrating recent protests and law-and-order issues. Beniwal also alleged that the government aimed to detain him during a protest in Jaipur and create unrest during Eid celebrations, but he managed to maintain peace and communal harmony.
The state government withdrew three Personal Security Officers from the Jaipur Commissionerate, leaving Beniwal primarily under the protection of Nagaur district police. This move has sparked discussions and speculations in political circles about the implications of the security reduction.
