JAIPUR: The political circles are agog with Congress state leadership’s overtures to Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLTP) leader and MLA Hanuman Beniwal. The ruling party had ruled out pre-poll alliance with any party so far. Its bonhomie with the young Jat leader in past few days has fuelled speculations in the power corridor.The Congress leadership's somersault is being seen as the brinkmanship of chief minister Ashok Gehlot, who is planning his son Vaibhav Gehlot’s political debut from Jodhpur. According to political observers, Gehlot is seeking an understanding with the Jat leader whose community has a sizeable presence in Jodhpur.RLTP was formed just before the assembly polls in December last year had won the Bhopalgarh assembly seat in Jodhpur district , the home turf of chief minister Gehlot. From the adjoining Nagaur district, Beniwal won the Khinvsar seat and his party’s Indira Devi won the Merta seat.Beniwal, who enjoys a following among the youths of his community, had been unsparing in his criticism of Gehlot and former chief Minister Vasundhara Raje during recent assembly elections.
