In April 2019, the party formed an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party for the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, thus joining the NDA with Beniwal contesting from the Nagaur seat on an RLP ticket. After Beniwal won the election, he had to resign from his post as Khinwsar MLA, thus necessiating the bypoll.
