Jaipur, Oct. 25 -- The lone by-election in Rajasthan's Anta constituency has turned into a high-stakes political battle as November 11 approaches. Both the BJP and Congress are leaving no stone unturned, deploying their full organizational strength to micro-manage the constituency. However, the contest has now taken a distinctly caste-driven dimension, with community influence playing a decisive role. The BJP has called upon party workers from the Meena, Mali, and Dhakad communities across the state, while Congress, through its nomination rallies, has signaled that it will use every possible strategy to secure a win. Amid this heated campaign, the nomination of BJP district general secretary and former MLA Ramphal Meghwal has created a stir within the party, raising eyebrows just ahead of the Anta by-election. Alleging neglect by the party, Meghwal filed his nomination even as the official BJP candidate, Morpal Suman, remains in the fray. Both leaders are considered staunch supporters of former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. Ramphal Meghwal, who represented Baran-Ataru from 2013 to 2018, currently serves as the BJP's district general secretary. Before entering active politics, he worked as a grade-three teacher in government service from 1991 to November 2013. Originally expected to be a direct face-off between the two major parties, the entry of independent candidate Naresh Meena has transformed the contest into a triangular battle. Supported by a large team of young volunteers aligned with his caste base, Meena's participation could challenge the strategies of both parties and increase the likelihood of vote fragmentation. Congress has prepared a detailed plan, mobilizing leaders and workers from the state down to the block level. Around 150 leaders and workers are expected to actively campaign. Senior party leaders, office-bearers, and war-room teams are set to reach Anta after October 25, while leaders from different caste groups are being strategically sent to areas where their community has significant influence, aiming to polarize votes in favor of the party's candidate. At the booth level, a parallel war-room will coordinate with the candidate's local management team to ensure smooth execution of the campaign. Meanwhile, the BJP has activated both booth-level management and a digital campaign. Multiple online meetings between the state president and local leaders have analyzed each booth to ensure no area is left 'weak.' The party's IT and social media cell remains active to highlight its candidate while monitoring opposition activities. Workers from the Meena, Mali, and Dhakad communities are being deployed across Anta to campaign within their communities, reflecting the party's focus on both caste mobilization and organizational control. With preparations in full swing and independent candidate Naresh Meena actively campaigning, the Anta by-election promises to be a gripping contest. The triangular nature of the race has added a new layer of unpredictability, making every vote crucial as the November 11 showdown approaches. Commenting on the situation, political analyst Manish Godha said, "This by-election holds little significance in terms of impacting the stability of the state government, as the BJP enjoys a clear majority in the Assembly. However, the stakes remain high for both the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress. Losing the seat would be an embarrassment for the BJP, as the party is in power and currently holds this constituency. For Congress, the stakes are equally high because its candidate, Pramod Jain Bhaya, is not only a former minister but also considered the most influential leader of the party in Baran district. The twist in the story comes with the entry of independent candidates Naresh Meena and Ramphal Meghwal, making this by-election a particularly interesting battle."...
