Politics in Rajasthan is often a high-stakes, aggressive game, but on Monday, February 16, 2026, the corridors of the State Assembly echoed with laughter instead of slogans. The reason? Rajasthan Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra finally came face-to-face with his “other half” a man so identical to him that even seasoned politicians had to look twice.

The man in question is Naresh Kumar Sindhi, a 43-year-old from the Ladnun area of Didwana district, who has become an overnight internet sensation.

How It All Started: The Dhabha Video

Naresh Sindhi’s journey to the Assembly didn't start with a political rally, but with a simple plate of food. A few days ago, a video of him eating at a local dhabha went viral. With his signature salt-and-pepper hair, thick mustache, and even the specific way he carries himself, social media users were convinced that Dotasra had taken a secret, solo road trip.

When the truth emerged that he was actually a common man working in the medical and catering business, the buzz only grew louder.

The Assembly Meeting: "My Dharam Bhai"

Amused by the viral clips, Dotasra extended a personal invitation to Naresh to visit him at the Rajasthan Assembly. The meeting was a spectacle of camaraderie:

The Gesture: Dotasra welcomed Naresh with open arms, feeding him sweets and officially declaring him his "Dharam Bhai" (sworn brother).

The Style Sync: The two posed for photos, with Naresh even mimicking Dotasra’s famous style of waving his gamcha (turban cloth) in the air, much to the delight of Congress workers.

The Offer: In a lighthearted yet headline-grabbing moment, Dotasra joked to the cameras, "I will use him in my election campaigns... and who knows, I might even field him to contest a seat! He can give 'fatkars' (scoldings) just like I do."

Who is Naresh Sindhi?

Behind the famous face is a humble man who has lived in Ladnun for over 12 years. Naresh works in the medical sector and runs a catering business. He admitted that while he always knew there was a resemblance, he never imagined it would lead him to the halls of power in Jaipur.

A Light Moment in Heavy Politics

While the "election offer" was made in a joking tone, it highlights Dotasra’s knack for staying in the spotlight using wit and relatability. In a state where political rivalry is fierce, this "Twin Sighting" provided a rare moment of unity and humor that bridged the gap between a powerful leader and a common citizen.

One thing is certain: if Naresh Sindhi ever does stand for an election, half the campaigning is already done he’s already got the face of a leader.
