The Opposition BJP MLAs on Monday created an uproar and walked out of the Rajasthan Assembly twice over the law and order situation and crimes against women in the State. The House was also adjourned for 15 minutes on the first day of the proceedings during the reconvened session, which started on July 14.
The eighth session of the Assembly, which was adjourned sine die on March 12, was not prorogued and was reconvened by Speaker C.P. Joshi. President Droupadi Murmu delivered a special address on the opening day of the session, while Monday was the first day of regular proceedings.
Leader of Opposition Rajendra Rathore wanted to ask a supplementary question on the beneficiaries of the food security scheme during the Question Hour, but the Speaker said it was irrelevant and did not allow him to continue. This led to a heated argument between the two, while other BJP MLAs created a din and said it was the Opposition’s right to raise questions over the State government’s programmes and policies.
