The election for by-elections on 7 seats in Rajasthan will take place on November 13. One of these constituencies is Deoli Uniara. During this assembly, Kanhaiya Lal Chaudhary, the water supply minister in the state government, endorsed BJP candidate Rajendra Gurjar on Monday. While this was happening, a woman requested water, and the minister responded, “There’s no requirement to vote, contribute where necessary; the government is indifferent to Rajendra Gurjar’s victory or defeat.”

During his campaign, Kanhaiya Lal Chaudhary spoke at an election gathering in Chandali village, located in Deoli of Tonk district, on Monday morning. In his speech, a woman spoke up about water, which the minister found displeasing. Following this, the woman also had a dispute with the minister over the water issue. In the viral video, Kanhaiya Lal Chaudhary initially states that your shouting won’t accomplish the task; it will only be done when I say it, and it will only be done when I comprehend it.

In the meantime, the woman remarked that if the public doesn’t raise their voices, you won’t listen either. Minister Kanhaiya Lal, frustrated with the woman, reiterates, if you need assistance, just let me know. I have not come here to debate. In the viral clip, Kanhaiya Lal Chaudhary initially states that your yelling won’t help; it will only succeed if I permit it, and the task will be accomplished only when I comprehend it.

In the meantime, the woman stated that if the crowd remains silent, you won’t pay attention either. Minister Kanhaiya Lal Chaudhary, frustrated with the woman, reiterated that if she needs anything to be accomplished, she should express it. I have not come here to dispute. The government will not be affected by Rajendra’s victory or defeat; if we lacked the motivation to work, we wouldn’t have arrived here. Why didn’t you inquire with the man you selected and sent five years back about where the money went, and why he didn’t fulfill the chowkidaari (watchman duty)?

At the same time, the minister informed the contractor and the employees present that I am indifferent to whether they install a new line or undertake any other task immediately, but there must be adequate water pressure here. Then Minister Kanhaiya Lal, managing the situation, stated that I am not Chandni Mataji who can summon water merely by breathing; water will surely arrive.

Monday marked the final day of the election campaign. At that moment, Minister Kanhaiya Lal Chaudhary came to campaign for the party’s candidate Rajendra Gurjar in the Deoli Uniara constituency. A triangular competition is being observed for the Deoli Uniara seat. Congress has selected KC Meena to represent here. Conversely, the BJP has nominated former MLA Rajendra Gurjar as its candidate. Following his failure to secure a ticket from Congress, rebel Naresh Meena has run as an independent, adding more intrigue to the competition.
