Political career
editJadawat started his political career in university politics as NSUI President in Chittorgarh. As a young man, he met Indira Gandhi during her visit to Chittorgarh in 1979, when he led a 100 bike escort for her caravan.[1] He went on to become MLA from Chittorgarh for terms between 1998 and 2003 and 2008–2013.[2] He also contested 2018 assembly elections.[3][4]
He led efforts to raise awareness during the Covid pandemic. Jadawat called for a meeting with community representatives to bust myths around vaccination and promote the inoculation drive, and announced that every family that gets vaccinated will be eligible for a health insurance of Rs. 500,000 under the Chief Minister Chiranjeevi Health Insurance Scheme.[citation needed]
He accused the BJP of not thinking enough to carry out development work.[5] He challenged the BJP legislators on the issue of development, noting that the issue of Chittorgarh medical college was put on the backburner by the previous BJP government. This was re-included in the budget by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, and the medical college has now reached the stage of inauguration.[6]
At Abhaypur Ghat, Jadawat inaugurated projects worth 70 million. Several BJP members joined Congress in his presence, receiving the flag from the minister. Jadawat and Gehlot's schemes impacted 200,000 BJP workers in the Gram Panchayat of Abhaypur. Crores have been spent for development in villages, with more BJP members leaving for Congress.[7]

Jadawat discussed his aim of opening English medium schools in Chittorgarh's villages for children from rural areas. All schools will have renovated facilities & games. On the occasion, he approved Rs. 5 million for a playground in Chiksi from the Gram DFM fund.[15][16]
