The results of by-elections held on 7 assembly seats in Rajasthan have come out, here Bharatiya Janata Party has won 5 seats, Bharat Adivasi Party and Congress have won one seat each. From Dausa assembly seat, BJP had fielded Jagmohan Meena, brother of cabinet minister Kirori Lal Meena, but he was defeated by Congress’s Deen Dayal Bairwa by about 2300 votes. Kirori Lal Meena’s pain has spilled over after her brother’s defeat. In a post on social media platform
Rajasthan’s Rural Development and Agriculture Minister Kirori Lal Meena accused his people of betraying him and wrote, ‘It has been 45 years. Struggled for all classes during his political journey. Organized hundreds of movements in public interest and fought courageously. In return, he suffered countless injuries at the hands of the police. Even today, when I feel bad, my whole body groans. From MISA, he remained behind bars dozens of times for the sake of the public.
He further wrote, ‘On the basis of this strong foundation of struggle and strong ground, I contested the Dausa by-election. Kept the story of struggle before the public. He also went door to door and begged for votes. Still, some people’s hearts did not melt. If the murderers had showered arrows on my chest, I would have suppressed the pain and buried all the things in my chest. But posing as Meghnath, he shot the arrow of power at my brother like Laxman. I am neither disappointed nor disheartened by the struggle of four and a half decades. The defeat has definitely taught me a lesson but I am not distraught.

Where was the courage among strangers, my own people killed me – Minister
Kirori Lal Meena wrote, ‘I am determined to continue on this path of struggle in the future also. One can never give up the vow of serving the poor, laborers, farmers and every suffering person. But there is definitely a pain in the heart. It is very deep and also tormenting every moment. The brother who supported me all my life like a shadow, soothed my every pain, when the opportunity came to take a loan, I could not repay his loan because of some Jaichands. The only drawback I have is that I do not indulge in sycophancy and because of this tendency I have suffered a lot in my political life. I am self-respecting. I can risk my life for the sake of the people. Where did strangers have the courage? I have always been beaten by my own people.
