Hanuman Beniwal (Hindi pronunciation:[ɦənʊˈmaːnbeːˈɳiːʋaːl]ⓘ; born 2 March 1972) is an Indian politician, peasant leader, and founder of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP). Beniwal is a well known face in the Politics of Rajasthan.[3] He is known for advocating the farmer rights and opposing corruption.[4][5] Beniwal is serving as a Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha from Nagaur since 2019. He is founder and national convener of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, the third political party of Rajasthan besides the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party. He has been elected to the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly for four-terms from Khinvsar constituency since 2008.[6][7]

Born in Nagaur district of Rajasthan. He graduated with Bachelor of Laws from University of Rajasthan. He entered the politics after being motivated by his father, Ramdev Beniwal. His political career began during his student life as president of the Rajasthan University Student Union. He later entered the Politics of Rajasthan with the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2008. Beniwal later formed a political party, the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, after accusing BJP leaders of corruption.[4]

Beniwal is an agrarian rights activist. He resigned from the parliamentary committees and National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in opposition to the 2020 Indian agriculture acts.[8] He has led various protests on public issues, most notably against the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC),[9] over paper leaks, illegal sand mining in the state,[10] and the central government’s Agnipath military recruitment scheme.[11]

Early life and education

Beniwal was born on 2 March 1972 to Ramdev Beniwal and Mohini Devi in Barangaon village of Nagaur district in Rajasthan.[12] His father was a two term member of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly from Mundwa constituency.[13] He belongs to HinduJat community.[14] He did Bachelor of Arts from University of Rajasthan in 1993 and then he obtained Bachelor of Laws in 1998.[15]

His younger brother Narayan Beniwal, is a former member of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly representing Khinvsar constituency in Nagaur.[16]

Early political career (1994 – 2008)

Student politics

Beniwal began his political career as a student leader at Rajasthan University. In 1994, Beniwal was elected president of Maharaja College, Jaipur student union, a position he held again in 1995. Beniwal became president of the Law College, Jaipur in 1996.[17]

During the 1996 Rajasthan University student union elections, Beniwal and Mahendra Chaudhary opposed a proposed university shutdown by opposition groups. Later, a confrontation at the university gate led to a clash with police, resulting in a lathicharge. Beniwal and over a dozen students were arrested and detained at Jaipur Central Jail. Concerned about potential student protests, the then chief minister Bhairo Singh Shekhawat ordered their release at 2 am. This release was against standard jail procedures.[18][19]

In September 1997, following a gang rape at JC Bose Hostel, public outrage grew in Jaipur.[20] Beniwal led protests against the incident, gaining popularity among students. Despite a police lathicharge and an FIR naming him, Beniwal contested the 1997 Rajasthan University student union elections as an independent candidate and won.[21]

During his tenure as student union president, Beniwal advocated for a five percent bonus in marks for rural students during university admissions, addressing disparities in educational resources. After winning the Rajasthan university elections, Beniwal launched a movement for this, leading to clashes with police and his arrest during a dharna. He spent eight days in jail, but the movement succeeded, enabling 8,000 rural students to gain admission in the next session in Rajasthan University.[22][19]

Jeevan godara case (2006)

In 2006, Beniwal and Ruparam Dudi led protests demanding justice for Jeevan Ram Godara, a student leader from Rajasthan, who was murdered along with his friend Harphool Jat by the gang of Anandpal Singh.[23] Their protests sought a fair investigation into the killings. After prolonged legal proceedings, on 12 March 2018, the Didwana ADJ Court sentenced Sanjay Pandey, Datar Singh, and Srivallabh to life imprisonment for their role in the double murder.[24]

State politics (2008–present)

Beniwal early activism in the student politics laid the foundation for his transition into mainstream politics.[17] In 2003, Beniwal contested his first Rajasthan Assembly election from the Mundwa constituency on an Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) ticket.[25] This constituency held personal significance, as it was previously represented by his father, Ramdev Beniwal, who was elected twice in 1977 and 1985. During the 2003 campaign, INLD leader and the then chief minister of Haryana, Om Prakash Chautala campaigned in Rajasthan to support Beniwal.[26] Despite securing 35,724 votes, Beniwal was defeated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate. Beniwal got his maiden electoral success in the 2008 Rajasthan Assembly election from Khinwsar constituency on a BJP ticket.[27]

Tensions with the Bharatiya Janata Party leadership (2010s)

In the early 2010s, tensions escalated between Beniwal and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership in Rajasthan. Beniwal accused senior party members, including then-opposition leader Vasundhara Raje and Rajendra Rathore, of corruption, alleging they maintained illicit ties with Congress chief minister Ashok Gehlot.[28] These allegations were made during a period of internal BJP factionalism in Rajasthan ahead of the 2013 state elections. The BJP leadership deemed Beniwal’s statements as act of indiscipline, leading to his suspension and eventual expulsion from the Bharatiya Janata Party. No independent investigation substantiated Beniwal’s claims, and neither Vasundhara Raje nor Rajendra Rathore faced legal action based on these allegations. The controversy marked a turning point in Beniwal’s career, prompting him to form the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP).[29]

After Beniwal suspension from the Bharatiya Janata Party, he contested the 2013 assembly elections as an Independent candidate and won with a margin of 23,020 votes and secured his seat in assembly for second term.[30] During his second term, Beniwal continued to target both BJP and Congress leaders, accusing them of corruption and neglecting farmers issues. Beniwal also demanded a CBI inquiry against state cabinet minister Yunus Khan, alleging that Khan aided gangster Anandpal Singh in escaping police custody in exchange for electoral support in 2013. However, no evidence was publicly presented to support Beniwal’s claims, and the CBI inquiry he demanded did not materialise. Khan denied the allegations, and no legal proceedings were initiated against him in connection with this matter.[31]

On 23 September 2015, Beniwal was attacked by unidentified assailants while travelling from Jaipur to Nagaur. In response to the attack, around 500 students organised a “Kisan Yuva Aakrosh Rally” at Rajasthan University to protest the attack on Beniwal. The rally turned violent when police intervened, leading to a lathi-charge that injured 30 students and 18 policemen. The National Students Union of India (NSUI) staged a follow-up protest against police brutality, highlighting his influence among students and youth.[32][33]

Formation of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (2018)

Beniwal led the Kisan HunkarMaha rallies in Barmer, Nagaur, Bikaner, Sikar, and Jaipur to champion farmers’ rights before the 2018 state elections.[34][35] He demanded a complete farmer’s loan waiver, free electricity for irrigation, fair MSP, and better irrigation infrastructure, criticising the Raje government’s policies.[36] These rallies pushed the newly elected Gehlot government to announce a partial ₹2 lakh loan waiver, which Beniwal called insufficient.[37]

On 29 October 2018, Beniwal founded the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) in Jaipur, and became its president and national convenor.[38] Beniwal became a well known face in the politics of Rajasthan, as his party is the third political party in the state of Rajasthan, following the Indian National Congress, and the Bharatiya Janata Party. Beniwal’s party gathered support from agrarian groups, with support from leaders like Kirodi Lal Meena, Ghanshyam Tiwari and Jayant Chaudhary during its formative rallies. Beniwal contested the 2018 Rajasthan assembly elections as a member of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, and won the Khinwsar seat for the third term with a margin of 16,948 votes.[39]

Beniwal then won the 2023 assembly elections by defeating BJP’s Rewant Ram Danga, a defector of his own Rashtriya Loktantrik Party and secured his seat in assembly for consecutive fourth term with a margin of 2059 votes.[40] As a member of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), Beniwal won four elections, out of which two were assembly elections (2018 and 2023) while two were Indian general elections (2019 and 2024). RLP fielded their candidates in two assembly elections (2018 and 2023). In 2018 state elections, three members of RLP won while in 2023 state elections, seats reduced to one.[41]

RLP also contested two bye-elections on Khinvsar constituency of Nagaur in 2019 and 2024. Beniwal fielded his brother Narayan and wife Kanika, respectively, after he vacated the seat for Lok Sabha. In the 2019 by-election, Narayan Beniwal (RLP) defeated Congress Harendra Mirdha by a margin of 4,630 votes.[42] However, in the 2024 by-election, Kanika Beniwal (RLP) lost to BJP’s Rewant Ram, a former RLP defector, by 13,901 votes, marking the first time since 2008 that a non-Beniwal won the Khinvsar seat.[43] The defeat, exacerbated by opposition from Jat families like the Mirdhas and Madernas and RLP defections.[44][45]

National politics (2019–present)

Beniwal entry into national politics began after the 2019 general election, when he won from Nagaur constituency, as an RLP candidate in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA. Due to his strong regional base among agrarian communities, he defeated Congress candidate Jyoti Mirdha by a margin of 181,260 votes, securing his first term in Lok Sabha.[46] Previously he unsuccessfully contested the 2014 general election and came to third position with 159,980 votes as an Independent candidate.[47] Beniwal focused on farmers’ issues and brought them in the Parliament, advocating for policies to address agricultural distress, such as loan waivers and better minimum support prices (MSP).[48][49]

Beniwal addressing public in 2021

In 2020, Beniwal opposed to the three farm laws introduced by the modi government. At the time, Beniwal was a Member of Parliament in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party. Despite his alignment with the BJP, Beniwal’s deep ties to the agricultural community and his history of advocating for farmers’ rights positioned him as a natural ally for the nationwide farmer protests.[5]

Beniwal mobilised farmer communities in the Shekhawati and Nagaur regions, to join the protests against the farm laws. He organised rallies, including a march from Rajasthan to Delhi. On 8 December 2020, Beniwal supported the Bharat Bandh, a nationwide strike called by farmer unions. In a dramatic move, he resigned from three parliamentary committees—on agriculture, food processing, and the public accounts committee.[50] On 26 December 2020, Beniwal announced the RLP’s withdrawal from the NDA, accusing the central government of betraying farmers and ignoring their trouble. He stated:[51]

Despite the farmers' protests, the Narendra Modi government is not withdrawing farm laws because it has 303 MPs. Farmers from 1,200 kilometres away in Rajasthan are moving towards Delhi to be a part of the agitation. As the issues remained unheard and due to the farmers' agitation, I am tendering my resignation from the committees.

— Hanuman Beniwal, India Today

On 13 December 2023, a security breach occurred in chamber of the Indian Parliament, coinciding with the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack.[52] Two intruders, Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, jumped from the public gallery into the chamber, releasing yellow smoke canisters and shouting slogans, while two others sprayed coloured gas outside the Parliament premises. Beniwal was among the first parliamentarians to react when the intruders entered the Lok Sabha chamber during zero hour, around 1:01 PM, as BJP MP Khagen Murmu was speaking. As one intruder jumped onto the benches and moved toward the Speaker’s chair, Beniwal swiftly intervened. Alongside other MPs, including Gurjeet Singh Aujla and Malook Nagar, he overpowered and subdued one of the intruders.[53][54] During this incident around 150 MPs, including prominent leaders like Rahul Gandhi and defence minister Rajnath Singh, were present in the house at the time. In a statement to the media, Beniwal described the incident vividly, saying, “Herogiri unki utar di” (roughly translated as “taught them a lesson”).[55]

Beniwal then contested the 2024 general election in alliance with the Congress-led INDIA bloc and won the election against BJP candidate Jyoti Mirdha with a margin of 42,225 votes.[56]

After the results of general elections, Beniwal expressed disappointment over being sidelined by the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc. Beniwal criticised his exclusion from INDIA bloc meetings in Delhi on 1 and 5 June 2024, attributing it to the RLP’s smaller size. While reaffirming his alliance commitment, Beniwal hinted at future uncertainty, stating, "Today I am with the INDIA bloc, but no one can be certain about tomorrow." He also denied immediate plans to join the NDA.[57][58] Later, the Congress president, Mallikarjun Kharge, apologised to Beniwal for not inviting him.[59] Congress general secretary K. C. Venugopal also spoke to Beniwal regarding his disappointment.[60]

Beniwal served as member of institute body at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur.[61]

Beniwal addressed a Jat community maha-panchayat on the Jaipur-Agra National Highway in Bharatpur, Rajasthan on 29 June 2025. He demanded OBC reservation for the Jat community of Bharatpur, Dholpur, and Deeg districts in central government services. Bharatpur MP Sanjna Jatav, also participated in the maha-panchayat, and a memorandum was submitted to the district collector, addressed to prime minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the exclusion of these districts’ Jats from the 1998 central OBC reservation granted to Jats of Rajasthan.[62][63]

Electoral performance

Beniwal in his career contested eight elections, out of which five of them were assembly elections (2003, 2008, 2013, 2018, 2023), while three were general parliamentary elections (2014, 2019, 2024), and he won six elections out of these eight elections, had lost one assembly election in 2003 and then a general election in 2014.

Beniwal in a rally on the eve of 2023 Rajasthan Assembly elections

Beniwal contested his maiden assembly election in 2003 on ticket of Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), then he contested the 2008 assembly election on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket. After being suspended from the BJP, Beniwal contested the 2013 assembly election and 2014 general elections as an Independent candidate. Later he founded his own party on the eve of 2018 Rajasthan Assembly elections and since then he contested all elections under RLP banner.
