In Banswara’s municipal council polls, two brothers are contesting against each other in Ward 20, while two sisters are running on rival party tickets in separate wards.
The Banswara Nagar Parishad elections in Rajasthan have drawn attention for unusually personal rivalries. In Ward 20, two brothers are pitted against each other, each seeking the council seat for his own party.
At the same time, two sisters are contesting from different wards, one on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket and the other representing the Indian National Congress. Their candidacies have turned family gatherings into political battlegrounds.
Local observers note that such sibling face‑offs underscore how closely intertwined family ties and grassroots politics can be in small towns. Neighbourhood residents have reportedly taken sides, adding a communal flavor to the already heated contests.
Election officials have confirmed that voting will proceed as scheduled, with security measures in place to manage any heightened tensions arising from these personal rivalries.
