BJP nominated Dr Jaswant Yadav as its candidate for Alwar parliamentary constituency. He took on Dr Karan Singh Yadav of Congress. Both are doctors and from Yadav community, a dominant caste in the constituency.

Karan Singh Yadav was a cardiologist and the superintendent of SMS Hospital between 1998 and 2003. After he joined Congress, he won state assembly elections from Behror constituency and parliamentary elections from Alwar seat. The party nominated him believing that he had a strong grip on the electorate at the grassroots level in Alwar.

Jaswant Yadav kicked up a controversy when he allegedly made a communal remark when campaigning in a Muslim-dominated area. He was allegedly caught on camera saying that Hindus should vote for him and Muslims for Congress. The video went viral on social media channels.

Alwar had recently hogged headlines due to the violence in the name of cow vigilance. In April, cow vigilantes caught 15 people who were allegedly smuggling cows. Five of these alleged smugglers were thrashed. Of them, one, Pehlu Khan, died. The incident took place in Behror area from which Jawant Yadav is an MLA. Several other incidents of violence were also reported.

Of the total voters, almost 25% are from Yadav community in Alwar parliamentary constituency. There were two lakh Muslim voters.
