Presently the MP's brother, Narayan Beniwal, is the MLA from Khinvsar. The party has not given him ticket from Khinvsar.

Hanuman Beniwal had won the 2018 assembly elections from Khinvsar. But, in 2019, he won the Lok Sabha elections from Nagaur. Narayan Beniwal from the RLP won the by-election to the seat.

The RLP has announced an alliance with the Chandrashekhar Azad-led Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) for the 2023 assembly polls in the state.

Last month, Hanuman Beniwal had said the RLP expects to put up a close fight on around 100 of the total 200 assembly seats in Rajasthan.

The RLP was a constituent of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and parted ways after the Centre passed the controversial farm laws.
