Political tempers flared in Rajasthan Vidhan Sabha Wednesday during the Governor’s address discussion, culminating in uproar over Congress stalwart Shanti Dhariwal’s derogatory language. Issues from job scarcity to indigenous rights fueled acrimonious face-offs, with multiple adjournments.
Highlighting skill gaps, Dhariwal asserted untrained youth masses endanger the country. Garg’s unnamed barb about universal employment bar one irked him into uttering slurs. Objecting strongly, Garg invoked Dhariwal’s track record, resulting in Speaker’s expunction order – a repeat from past episodes.
BAP’s Anil Katara decried tribal neglect under ‘double-engine’ rule: jungle clearances, land thefts, mining sprees, quota violations. He insisted on Bheel statehood, readying for protests galore. Congress’s Ramila Khadiya hammered TAD Minister on abrupt coordinator ousters, biased recruitments favoring non-tribals, teacher pay lags, and shoddy anganwadi meals.
The minister suggested Khadiya-led investigations. Question and zero hours brimmed with spars, notably Urban Minister Jhabar Singh Kharra defending housing initiatives. Non-stop mayhem prorogued the assembly to Thursday 11 AM.
