Political row over 'hidden' cameras in Rajasthan assembly turns ugly

The Statesman Siliguri

|

September 15, 2025

The political controversy surrounding the installation of two "hidden-extra" cameras in the Rajasthan Assembly has taken an ugly turn following offensive remarks allegedly made against Speaker Vasudev Devnani by Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

On Friday, the principal opposition party leadership submitted a memorandum to Governor Haribhau Bagade over the issue. The Congress kept the matter alive yesterday as well, with former CM Ashok Gehlot, Leader of Opposition (LoP) Tika Ram Jully, and PCC chief Dotasra continuing to raise concerns.

While Gehlot and Jully largely confined themselves to demanding a high-level inquiry into the matter, Dotasra's sensational allegations of "discrimination against the opposition and indecency" by Speaker Devnani have added a serious twist, triggering sharp reactions from the ruling BJP.

Gehlot told the media: "Just see, they have installed two extra cameras in addition to the usual ones used for live telecast of Assembly proceedings. The control system of those extra cameras is in the Speaker's Chamber. Only the Speaker or his personal staff can view or listen through those cameras."
