(News18 Hindi)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">BJP MLA Shankar Singh Rawat, renowned for winning the Beawar assembly constituency four times, faces serious allegations from the Congress party. The controversy centres around his daughter, Kanchan Rawat, and daughter-in-law, Sunita, accused of fraudulently obtaining government jobs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Evidence has emerged, prompting the Congress to challenge Rawat and the Bhajan Lal Sharma government, resulting in a political uproar in Rajasthan. The Congress demands transparency from the state government, and the matter is currently under investigation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Shankar Singh Rawat, a resident of Kishanpura village in Beawar district, gained political recognition through his campaign to establish Beawar as a separate district, formerly part of Ajmer. <\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">His prominence soared when he led a march from Beawar to Jaipur demanding district status, eventually achieving success. Rawat became an influential political figure, winning the MLA seat four consecutive times, and Beawar was subsequently designated a separate district.<\/p>\n<h2>MLA Rawat Faces Controversy Over Daughter-in-Law\u2019s Job Appointment<\/h2>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Shankar Singh Rawat\u2019s credibility is now at risk due to allegations concerning his daughter and daughter-in-law. Rawat has four children: three sons and a daughter. His eldest son, Gopal Singh Rawat, a government teacher, reportedly secured his wife Sunita\u2019s government teaching position through the divorcee quota under fraudulent pretences. <\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">It is alleged that their divorce is merely on paper, as the couple continues to live together with their children. This deception is believed to have facilitated Sunita\u2019s employment.<\/p>\n<h2>Daughter Kanchan Rawat Serves As Naib Tehsildar In Bhilwara<\/h2>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">In another instance, Shankar Singh Rawat\u2019s daughter, Kanchan Rawat, currently serving as a Naib Tehsildar in Bhilwara, allegedly obtained her government job through the disabled quota due to her hearing impairment. <\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">Recent scandals involving fake certificates in government jobs have cast doubt on the authenticity of Kanchan Rawat\u2019s disability certificate, prompting an ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<h2>Rawat Seen As Close To Former CM Vasundhara Raje\u2019s Camp<\/h2>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">MLA Shankar Singh Rawat\u2019s wife is a homemaker, while Singh\u2019s long political career has earned him significant influence in the region.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Rawat is associated with the former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje camp, which, according to political experts, has hindered his chances of securing a ministerial position despite his long-standing political career and seniority among MLAs. <\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">The fate of his daughter and daughter-in-law\u2019s government jobs remains uncertain and will be determined by the results of the investigation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-1842159892 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rajasthan, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-1842159892 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>September 17, 2025, 18:15 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-1842159892 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Who Is Rajasthan MLA Shankar Singh Rawat And What Are The Allegations He Is Facing?<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
