Early life and education

His younger brother Narayan Beniwal, is a former member of Rajasthan Legislative Assembly.[7] His father Ramdev Beniwal was also a two term member of Rajasthan Legislative Assembly from Mundwa constituency.[8]

Political career

Student politics

Beniwal was initially exposed to politics due to his political family as his father, Ramdev Beniwal, became a Member of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly from Mundwa constituency for two terms in 1977 and 1985. He first entered politics when he became president of Rajasthan College in 1995 and then he became president of the Rajasthan University Student Union in 1997, having previously won the University Law College in 1996.[9]

Mainstream Indian politics

Farmer protest

In 2020, Beniwal joined the protest in Delhi against the farmer bills, calling it 'Anti-Farmers'. He went on to say that if he had been present in the Lok Sabha, he would have torn up the farm bills.[22]

Rashtriya Loktantrik Party

On 29 October 2018, Beniwal founded the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, becoming its president and national convenor in the process.[23] This made him one of the most influential politicians of Rajasthan since Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) is the only successful party in the state besides Indian National Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party.[24]

Personal life

He married Kanika Beniwal on 9 December 2009, with whom he has a son (Ashutosh) and a daughter (Divya).[25] [26] He is a follower and disciple of the Rajasthani folk hero-deity Veer Teja.[27] [28] Kanika hails from Sri Ganganagar and did Bachelor of Science from Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur.[29] On the eve of 2024 Rajasthan Assembly By-elections, Kanika filed nomination from Khinwsar as a member of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party but lost to BJP Rewant Ram Danga by 13,901 votes.[30] [31]
