Banswara district is among the poorest in the state, populated mainly by tribals who have been victims of social and economic exploitation for generations.
In retrospect, it seems that the object of the excesses on tribal Christians in Banswara area is to harass, and terrorise and compelling them to wind up their educational and health care institutions and stop their social welfare activities.
This is probably the main reason of their harassment that Christian are peacefully pursuing the social development activities and in the area especially in tribals who are being subjected to grave social oppressions and intolerable economic exploitations.

 The Hindu : Rajasthan BJP unhappy over allocation of seat to JD(U)
Banswara, perhaps the last citadel of the Socialist forces in Rajasthan, is the lone seat the Janata Dal (U) proposes to contest in the State.
Apart from the fact that Banswara is as good as any seat in Rajasthan for the BJP, handing it over to the Janata Dal also would mean that the slogan voiced by its national president, Venkaiah Naidu, about winning "pachis mein pachis''(all 25 out of 25) in the State will no longer hold good.
For the BJP, the tribal districts of Banswara and Dungarpur which constitute eight segments of the Lok Sabha constituency is comparatively a new territory but the party did well here in the recent Assembly elections.
