Congress has fielded pradeep Choudhary from the Dewas seat against gayatri Raje Pawar, the political heir
of the maratha Empire. Dewas has been under the control of Pawar family for the last 33 years. Gayatri’s
husband Tukoji Rao had won elections from here for the first time in 1990.
Gayatri Raje herself is the daughter of Mahadik family of Gwalior. This family has been very close to the
Gwalior royal family. After the death of Tukoji in 2015, gayatri took charge of the Dewas seat. In 2018,
Gayatri defeated Congress's Thakur Jaisingh by about 28 thousand votes. This time's election is considered
difficult for gayatri Raje. pradeep is counted as a grassroots leader and is constantly active in the area. The
Congress organization of Dewas itself had demanded to give ticket to Pradeep. Talking about caste equation,
the maximum number of voters here are Brahmin, Rajput and Muslim. khati society also plays a big role in
turning the equation upside down.

ticket. priyanka has been fielded in her place. priyanka is the wife of IRS officer Pradyuman Singh Meena
posted in Delhi. Pradyuman Singh is originally a resident of Chachoda.
Priyanka had contested the election of district Panchayat member from Ward No. 18 of Madhusudangarh
area, but she did not win. priyanka has joined bjp this year to contest legislature. However, former MLA
Mamta meena is increasing Priyanka's tension. mamta has announced to contest the elections as an
independent candidate from here. Chachoda is a meena dominated seat. There are about 60 thousand voters
of this caste here. After Meena, there are Dalit, Kushwaha and Brahmin voters. Gurjars, with a population of
15 thousand, also play an important role in victory and defeat.
