Nagaur Member of Parliament and the Supremo of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), Hanuman Beniwal, was involved in a dramatic incident late Sunday night in the Talchhapar town of Churu district. The veteran leader had arrived in the region to participate in the inauguration ceremony of a new party office. However, what was expected to be a routine political gathering turned into an unexpected and tense situation when Beniwal, known for his fiery oratory, became visibly frustrated with the conduct of some individuals in the audience.
Disturbance During the Address
As the program progressed into the late hours of the night, Hanuman Beniwal took to the stage to address the gathered supporters. While he was in the middle of his speech, a group of young men sitting directly in front of the stage began creating a continuous disturbance. The youth were reportedly making a lot of noise and shouting, which interrupted the flow of the MP's address. Initially, Beniwal attempted to handle the situation with patience, making several appeals to the group to remain calm and listen to the speech. He urged them to maintain decorum so that the program could proceed as planned, but the interruptions continued despite his requests.
Escalation of Anger and Frustration
Despite multiple warnings and requests to stay quiet, the noise from the youth didn't stop, while this persistent disruption eventually exhausted Beniwal's patience. Expressing his deep anger from the stage, he questioned the behavior of the youth. He asked them if they had ever seen a leader before and why they were acting so irrationally. He specifically pointed out the impact on the younger generation, questioning how school children would ever progress if this was the environment they were exposed to. His frustration was evident as he remarked on the lack of discipline among those present, asking the youth why they were acting crazy.
The Dramatic Exit from the Stage
The situation reached a breaking point when the shouting continued unabated. Hanuman Beniwal declared that he wouldn't return to the venue again and threatened to leave without finishing his speech. He questioned the value of their time and his own, asking what the point was if they were just going to waste it, while in a moment of high drama that left the entire audience stunned, Beniwal stopped his speech abruptly, threw the microphone on the stage, and walked away from the event. Before leaving, he even questioned whether the troublemakers had been sent by his political opponents to sabotage the program. He expressed his disappointment with the organizers for allowing such individuals to sit in the front rows and asked if they felt no shame.
Reflections on Churu's Politics and Enmities
During his interrupted address, Beniwal also touched upon the political landscape of Churu district, while he claimed that his involvement in the politics of Churu had resulted in him making enemies all across Rajasthan. He criticized the local population for being weak, suggesting that their perceived weakness was the reason they were being exploited. He reminded the crowd that when the people of Churu were being targeted or beaten, it was Hanuman Beniwal who stood by them, which in turn increased his personal political battles across the state. He took a swipe at other local leaders, alleging that they had abandoned the people to join major parties like the BJP or Congress for their own benefit. He emphasized his own commitment, stating that he was still fighting for them until 1 AM after seeing their tears, and expressed shock at the lack of support he felt in return from the crowd.
