Raja Pateriya Biography

Raja Pateriya is an Indian politician from Hatta, Madhya Pradesh, affiliated with the Indian National Congress. He has served multiple terms as an MLA, was

Early life and background

Raja Pateriya was born in 1960 and hails from Hatta in Madhya Pradesh. He attended Mahakosal Science College at Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya in Jabalpur, where he began his involvement in student politics. His formal higher-education record shows a B.Sc. course that he did not complete, leaving during the second year.

Career

Pateriya built his career in state and national politics as a member of the Indian National Congress. He first entered the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly after winning a by-election for the Hatta constituency around 1991–92. Although he lost the 1993 assembly election from the same seat, he returned to the legislature after winning Hatta again in 1998.

During the Congress government led by Digvijaya Singh (1998–2003), Pateriya held a ministerial portfolio that covered technical education, medical education, and information technology. At the same time he carried responsibilities for the Panna district.

Pateriya later sought to move to national politics. After Hatta became a reserved seat for Scheduled Castes, he contested the Khajuraho Lok Sabha seat in 2009 and again in 2014, but was unsuccessful on both occasions. Following the 2009 defeat he founded the Adivasi–Vanvasi Dalit Mahasangh, an organization focused on the welfare of Adivasi and Scheduled Caste communities.

Within the Congress party, he has served in leadership roles at the state level, including a tenure as vice president of the Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee. Ideologically, he is associated with Samajwadi currents and has publicly expressed admiration for leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, B.R. Ambedkar, and Ram Manohar Lohia.

Public profile

Pateriya’s public life has included moments of controversy. In one interview he made a remark that drew criticism for being derogatory toward women. In December 2022 a video of a speech he gave in Panna district circulated widely; authorities registered a case and he was arrested after remarks in which he urged party workers to "kill" Prime Minister Narendra Modi, language Pateriya later said had been misunderstood and intended to mean defeating the prime minister politically.

Personal life

Raja Pateriya is married to Bakul Raje Pateria. The couple have a son, Raja Anand Mohan Pateria. His father’s name is Harvansh; his mother’s name is not publicly recorded in the available material. He is identified in reporting as belonging to the Brahmin community and holds Indian nationality.

Money and assets

Publicly available election disclosures from the 2013–2014 financial year list various movable and immovable assets attributed to Pateriya, including cash, bank deposits, agricultural and non-agricultural land, and residential and commercial buildings. Those disclosures yielded a reported net worth figure for 2014.
