Jagtarandas was an Indian politician. At the time of the Independence of India, Jagtarandas and his brothers Muktavandas and Atibaldas, led a faction in local Bhandarpuri politics.[1] Their group mobilized lower caste Chhattisgarhi population and was close to the Scheduled Castes Federation of B.R. Ambedkar and the local pro-British tendencies.[2] He was elected from the reserved Scheduled Castes seat in Bemetara in the 1952 Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, running as an Indian National Congress candidate.[3] He died shortly thereafter, and in February 1954 a by-election was organized to elect a new legislator for the Bemetara seat, in which the Congress candidate Sheolal was elected unopposed.[3] [4]
