The party received support from members of the Jat community,[5] and was able to have its representatives elected on three seats of the legislative assembly.[7] In 2019, the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party entered into an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party before the general election. It contested on the Nagaur seat and extends its support to the Bharatiya Janata Party on all other seats in the state.[4]
