Udaipur: The District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) meeting held in Dungarpur on December 29 proved to be a significant turning point in the district’s political landscape. Strong reactions have emerged across the tribal belt and the entire district following the alleged indecorous behavior of Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) MP Rajkumar Roat and a party विधायक toward the committee’s co-chairperson, MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat.
In the aftermath of the incident, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has emerged in a stronger position in the district. Among the general public, a clear sentiment has surfaced that “there is finally someone who speaks up”—a leader who fearlessly raised his voice in support of the Constitution, development, and the government.
Reduction in Discontent Related to the Dovda Incident; Balance Restored Among Communities
Political observers believe that dissatisfaction surrounding the Dovda incident—particularly among the general and OBC communities, and to some extent among the Bhil community—has significantly eased following this episode. By firmly presenting the government’s and the Constitution’s position during the meeting, MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat conveyed a strong message that the BJP is sensitive to the interests and dignity of all sections of society.
Where the Administration Remained Silent, the MP Defended Constitutional Order
When issues beyond the agenda were raised during the DISHA meeting, it was expected that the district collector, who serves as the committee’s secretary, would clarify the situation. However, this did not happen. In such circumstances, MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat intervened and firmly upheld the government’s stance and constitutional framework.
Despite the deadlock, the meeting was completed due to his intervention, and the remaining agenda items were addressed by him toward the end. He categorically stated that the DISHA committee is a constitutional forum and its proceedings must strictly adhere to established rules.
BJP Government in Rajasthan: Responsible and Development-Oriented Governance
MP Rawat emphasized that Rajasthan is governed by the BJP and that under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, the government’s approach is development-oriented, balanced, and positive. He presented factual details of the schemes and initiatives being implemented by the state government for tribal regions in a constructive manner.
Clear Definition of Constitutional Limits
Dr. Mannalal Rawat made it clear that all discussions must remain within the constitutional boundaries. He stressed that the purpose of the DISHA committee is to review development works, not to create political confrontation. This clarity ultimately guided the course of the meeting.
Committee Formed by the Modi Government, Discussions Must Follow Its Spirit
He further clarified that the DISHA committee was constituted by the Central Government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and therefore its discussions and decisions must align with the prescribed rules, spirit, and decorum. As per Government of India guidelines, agenda items cannot be arbitrarily added or removed by any individual.
BAP’s Confrontational Conduct Exposed
When the MP reiterated the need to adhere to constitutional norms, BAP leaders allegedly resorted to verbal altercations. This behavior, observers say, exposed their conduct and highlighted their preference for confrontation over dialogue and resolution.
Threats Reveal BAP’s Frustration
Threats such as “we will see you” directed at the MP by BAP leaders reportedly revealed their frustration before the public. This led many to believe that such an approach is not only unconstitutional but also harmful to society and the youth. In the Vagad region, there is growing discussion over why such behavior was displayed by a legislator despite the BJP being in power in the state.
Anti-Development and Misleading Political Character Comes to the Fore
Following the entire episode, BAP’s political character has been portrayed as anti-development and misleading for the youth. In contrast, MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat has emerged as a leader committed to development in the tribal region, securing a brighter future for youth, strengthening Sanatan values, and safeguarding the Constitution.
A Strong Representative of the Vision of BJP, Modi, and Bhajanlal Governments
Despite opposition and obstruction by BAP, MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat continues to actively convey Central Government schemes to the public and strongly advocate for development initiatives undertaken by the Bhajanlal Sharma-led state government. Overall, the December 29 DISHA meeting exposed BAP’s obstructionist and anti-development stance, while firmly establishing MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat as a courageous, responsible, and strong representative of the development-oriented vision of the BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma.
