In 2008 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly elections, he has been defeated by Gopal Joshi of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kalla served as the Minister for Secondary Education from 1990 and 2003 and did justice for his position with his previous experience in the education sector. It is well established fact that Mr. Kalla spoofed his master Mr. Gopal Joshi by snatching his masters constituency, but again Dr. B.D. Kalla fell back miserably and got defeated by a master shock and a master punch with a difference of almost 19000 votes. Dr. Gopal Joshi got more than 55% of total votes polled. A master is always a master.
