The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly encountered disruptions during a debate on the Governor’s address after BJP MLA Shrichand Kriplani commented on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, sparking objections. Kriplani accused Rahul Gandhi of making unfounded claims about an unpublished book, leading to a heated confrontation between the ruling party and the opposition. The Speaker adjourned the House amid chaos, with tensions escalating during exchanges between Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra and Education Minister Madan Dilawar.
Amid the uproar, allegations and challenges were exchanged, with Dotasra accusing the minister of harming the education system and pointing out issues like falling school enrolment and financial irregularities. The Leader of the Opposition strongly objected to certain remarks, prompting the Speaker to assure their removal from the record. Dotasra demanded a CBI probe into paper leaks over the past 12 years and criticized the government for neglecting school infrastructure and educational reforms.
The situation intensified as broader issues were raised, including allegations of compromising Rajasthan’s interests in agreements and criticisms of government spending priorities. Kriplani criticized Rahul Gandhi for his statements on the Doklam issue and his reference to an unpublished book, leading to objections from the opposition. The escalating tensions resulted in a chaotic atmosphere, forcing multiple adjournments of the House proceedings.
