In Banswara, former 15‑year district chief Ramesh Malviya shocked the political scene by filing a nomination for a ward‑11 seat in the Naharpura Panchayat Committee.
Ramesh Malviya, who had served as Banswara’s district chief for a decade and a half, submitted a nomination form for a ward‑11 seat in the Naharpura Panchayat Committee, a move that has surprised local observers.
The nomination was filed in the early hours of Thursday, marking Malviya’s first foray into elected office after a long career in district administration. His decision to contest a ward seat signals a potential shift in the local power structure.
