Another criminal may soon enter Indian politics.
Shambhulal Regar, the man arrested for lynching a Muslim in Rajasthan’s Rajsamand area is expected to contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Agra. Media reports suggest that Regar has been offered a ticket by the Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena, a not-so-popular political outfit in Uttar Pradesh. He has reportedly accepted the offer.
“The Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena has decided that for the Agra Lok Sabha seat, the party’s candidate will be Shambhulal Regar. He will contest the election from inside Jodhpur jail, where he is currently lodged,” Amit Jani, national president of the Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena, told News18. “We want only Hindutva faces to contest elections on our party’s tickets and there can be nobody better than him. We will soon make a formal announcement,” Jani said, according to the News18 report.
