Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) National President and Nagaur Member of Parliament Hanuman Beniwal on Saturday, 9 May declared the cancellation of the SI Recruitment-2021 examination and the announcement of fresh recruitment by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) a "major victory" for the movement spearheaded by his party. Addressing a press conference in Jaipur, Beniwal also demanded that all paper leak investigations be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to ensure action against the alleged masterminds behind the scam.

RLP Claims Credit for Cancellation

Beniwal stated that the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party had actively campaigned "from the streets to the Assembly" for the cancellation of the SI recruitment process. Youth activists who had been demanding the cancellation of the 2021 SI recruitment process felicitated Beniwal during the event. He assured those present that the RLP would continue to fight for the interests of the youth.

CBI Probe and Paper Leak Allegations

Beniwal alleged that several Congress leaders were involved in the paper leak scandal and claimed that those responsible for "destroying the future of the youth" during the previous government were now openly challenging the current administration. He asserted that only a CBI probe could expose the real masterminds behind the scam. He also accused the Special Operations Group (SOG) of shielding certain accused individuals in the SI recruitment scam despite evidence having surfaced publicly.

Governance and Corruption Charges Against BJP Government

Targeting the present administration, Beniwal claimed that the Chief Minister lacked effective control over his own departments and alleged that corruption had become deeply institutionalised within government offices. He further alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had appointed officials to influential posts who, during the previous Congress government, were allegedly involved in tapping the phones of BJP leaders and facilitating raids on their residences. According to Beniwal, this reflected a "covert understanding" between sections of the BJP and Congress leadership.

Referring to the alleged Jal Jeevan Mission scam, Beniwal said that while a former Water Supply Minister had been arrested, several officials, contractors, and political figures linked to the case were still at large. He demanded immediate action against all those involved.

Religious Sentiments and Other Issues

Beniwal also criticised the BJP over religious and social issues, alleging that while the party seeks votes in the name of Sanatan and Hindutva, it has ignored the ongoing agitation by saints at Bhairana Dham. He cited the example of a saint in Bharatpur who allegedly committed self-immolation in an attempt to protect local hills, claiming that the sentiments of saints were being neglected.

Criticising the Agniveer Scheme, he alleged that the policy had weakened the morale of both the youth and the armed forces. He also accused the BJP of misleading farmers with promises to double their incomes. Beniwal stated that he had consistently supported major public movements, including the Jat reservation agitation, the Gurjar reservation movement, and the farmers' protests.

Political Outlook: 2028 and Panchayati Raj Polls

Predicting a "major political upheaval" in the 2028 elections, Beniwal said its early signs would become visible during the upcoming Panchayati Raj and local body polls. The RLP, which has positioned itself as a champion of youth and agrarian interests in Rajasthan, appears to be using the SI recruitment victory as a launchpad for broader political mobilisation ahead of the next electoral cycle.
