We take a closer look at the rise of Diya Kumari – from the Palais to politics.
She is royalty
Princess Diya Kumari, 52, is a member of the former royal family of Jaipur. She is the granddaughter of Man Singh II, the last Maharaja in power of the princely state of Jaipur, and the daughter of Sawai Bhawani Singh, who obtained a distinction in the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war as a lieutenant- Colonel and the para commandos para commandos. of the 10th parachute regiment.
She graduated from fine arts and design skills and has a diploma in these London matters.
It is also associated with several non -governmental organizations, including the Eye Bank Society of Rajasthan, and Rays, an NGO working for children of HIV +, of which it is the owner. She was also elected member of the government’s national conservation of the government in 2019.
The combination of belonging to royalty and yet having a terre-à-terre character earned him the name of “daughter of Jaipur” and the “princess who walks in the streets”. In fact, it was this image that helped her make her popular in the state and popular with people.
Policy increase
Kumari did his foray into politics in 2013 and joined the BJP. Interesting, it was the former chief minister Vasundhara Raje who played a decisive role in the entrance of Kumari into politics. Kumari joined the BJP during a rally in his presence, then the president of the BJP, Rajnath Singh, and the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who at the time was Gujarat CM.
During this same year, she challenged the district of Sawai Madhopur Assembly and was opposed to both Danish Abrar and the chief of the Congress Veteran tribe, Kirodi Lal Meena, who challenged a ticket from the National People of the People of the People of the People (NPP). Kumari defeated his experienced rivals to win Sawai Madhopur.
Later in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, she challenged Rajsamand and was elected deputy with one of the biggest margins of 5.51 Lakh Votes.
During the elections to the 2023 assembly, she won the surveys of the constituency of Vidhyadhar Nagar after defeating the candidate of the Congress Sitaram Agarwal.
During his campaign for assembly polls, the 52 -year -old man made an argument for the environment, education, health care and the empowerment of women.
The second “raje”
While Kumari has made progress in politics, many have continued to compare it to the Vasundhara Raje Party veteran.
However, his relations with Raje are responsible for tensions and they can be dated 2016. It is then that Kumari and the royal family of former Jaipur fought with the government of the state led by Raje after the managers of The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) sealed the doors of the Rajmahal Palace family hotel during an anti-training campaign.
The images of the confrontation between Kumari and the representatives of the government during the waterproofing exercise reached the first pages of newspapers and the incident made a gap between Raje and Elle.
In fact, earlier when she was asked how she would feel if she was ignored for the post of chief minister because of her alleged conflict with the old CM Vasundhara Raje, she replied by saying that she ” did not want to comment on such things “.

“I don’t comment on such things. We all worked together. She was there too, I also received her blessings, “said Kumari.
In particular, she kept mom on apparent conflicts with Raje and has never publicly commented on any other head of the state BJP. It focused on increasing importance within the party, to find a place within the part of the party of the party as secretary general, to address press conferences against the government of Congress Congress and to lead demonstrations.
And it seems that his efforts have finally borne fruit.
