Career
He was elected to the Lok Sabha from Chittorgarh with a winning margin of over 1,90,000 votes. In 1984, Maharana Bhagwat Singh willed his entire property through a trust to younger son Arvind. He not only made Arvind the executor of the will, but also included daughter Yogeshwari Kumari as a trustee.
Elder son Mahendra Singh, who had a year before accused his father of wasteful expenditure and sought division of the vast property, was left out.
Stay orders have been applicable on this Estate since and the activities initiated, expanded, alterations undertaken by Shri Arvind Singh Mewar have been during the pendency of these orders. Shri Arvind Singh"s place of residence is Shikarbadi.
On the demise of Late Maharana Bhagwat Singh ji Mewar of Udaipur, and after the "Tilak" ceremony of Maharana Mahendra Singh ji Mewar, parts of the Palace, specifically those in which Late Maharana Bhagwat Singh ji Mewar of Udaipur was residing were sealed by Maharana Mahendra Singh ji Mewar. Against orders of the High Court of Rajasthan, the government / administration handed over these parts to Shri Arvind Singh for which a contempt petition is under adjudication before the Supreme Court of India.
Maharana Mahendra Singh ji Mewar has been permitted by the Supreme Court of India to take steps to repossess these parts of the Palace.
lieutenant is under these circumstances that Shri Arvind Singh has been residing in the City Palace.
