Rajasthan Assembly Paralyzed Over 'Dadi' Remark and Speaker Insult

A political impasse deepens as suspended Congress MLAs demand an apology from a BJP minister while the Speaker faces alleged derogatory remarks.

The Rajasthan Assembly has been in a prolonged deadlock following BJP Minister Avinash Gehlot's 'dadi' remark about former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, which Congress MLAs deemed offensive.
Six Congress MLAs, including state party chief Govind Singh Dotasra, were suspended after protesting the remark, escalating tensions in the House.
The situation worsened when Dotasra allegedly used derogatory language against Speaker Vasudev Devnani, prompting calls for his full-term suspension by BJP leaders.
Congress MLAs have refused to participate in proceedings until the minister's comment is expunged and an apology is issued, while the BJP insists the opposition apologize first.
Protests outside the Assembly have intensified, with Congress workers clashing with police and demanding reinstatement of the suspended MLAs.
