Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) chief and MP Hanuman Beniwal has named his brother Narayan Beniwal as the party candidate for the bypoll to Khimsar Assembly constituency of Rajasthan.
The BJP and RLP have joined hands for contesting the Khimsar seat.

Bypolls for Khimsar Assembly seat in Nagaur and Mandava Assembly seat in Jhunjhunu will be held on October 21.
