Brij Mohan Lal Sharma (born 1903, Beawar) was an Indian politician.[1] He became a lawyer in 1938. He was arrested in connection with the 1940 Satyagrah.[1] Sharma won the Beawar City North seat in the 1951 Ajmer Legislative Assembly election as an Indian National Congress candidate. He obtained 2,372 votes (38.92%).[2] After the election, he served as Minister of Education, Revenue and Local Self-Government in the Ajmer State cabinet.[3][4]
After the merger of the Ajmer State with Rajasthan, Sharma was elected from the Beawar constituency of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly in 1957. He obtained 10,750 votes (42.05%).[5] During the 1960s, the Beawar Congress was torn by strife between Sharma and Chiman Singh Lodha (nick-named 'B' and 'C', respectively). The internal problems of the Congress Party led to an electoral defeat in the 1962 election.[6] Sharma, who contested as the official Congress candidate, finished second with 9,575 votes (30.48%). He lost the seat to the communist candidate Swami Kumaranand.[7] Sharma finished second in the 1967 election as well, with 14,187 votes (34.15%).[8]
