Manvendra Singh Joined Congress In 2018
Manvendra Singh had quit the BJP and joined Congress ahead of the 2018 Rajasthan assembly election. He was fielded against the then Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje from her bastion of Jhalrapatan in Jhalawar district of Rajasthan. He had lost the election by huge margin.
In the previous assembly polls, the Congress fielded Manvendra from Siwana assembly constituency, which was earlier a part of Barmer and now included in the newly-formed Balotra district. He suffered a defeat again and BJP's Hameer Singh Bhayal was elected from Siwana.
