Kingdoms gone but erstwhile royals of Rajasthan still hold sway over voters

The Hindu  

Even after they lost their kingdoms and titles way back in 1947, the royal families in Rajasthan continue to taste power and hold sway over people. At present, more than half of the royal families are actively associated with political parties while others are influencing voters due to their sway on other communities who still revere them as their ‘Raja Saheb’. The trend of palaces coming into politics dates back to 1951-52 when the erstwhile King of Jodhpur, Hanwant Singh Rathore, fought the Lok Sabha election. Vishvendra Singh, MLA from Deeg-Kumher and current Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister in the Gehlot government is the descendant of the Bharatpur royal clan and second in the family to enter politics after his father. From the descendants of Kota royals to the erstwhile king of Alwar, from the Jaisalmer royal clan to scion of Karauli kingdom, almost every royal family has tried its luck in politics in last seven decades and still has a sway over voters in their pocket boroughs.
