Dr Premchand Bairwa, a 54-year-old MLA from Dudu, won his seat in the 2023 Rajasthan Assembly Elections by defeating Congress candidate Babulal Nagar with a margin of 35,743 votes.
Diya Kumari, who was MP from Rajsamand, is a Rajput face in the party. She won Jaipur s Vidhyadhar Nagar constituency with a margin of 71,368 votes. The 51-year-old BJP leader became MLA for the first time in 2013 from Sawai Madhopur. In 2019 Lok Sabha polls, she was elected as MP.

Right after the BJP s impressive show at the poll counter, this royal s name gained traction as one of the key faces vying for the top job in Rajasthan.
