The Monsoon session of the Rajasthan Assembly kicked off with intense turmoil on September 1, 2025, in Jaipur, as Congress and BJP legislators engaged in a heated exchange of slogans, forcing Speaker Vasudev Devnani to adjourn the House until Wednesday. The chaotic scenes unfolded as Congress MLAs raised placards and chanted "vote chor gaddi chhodo" (vote thief, step down), targeting the ruling BJP. In response, BJP legislators countered with slogans against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, shouting "gaali baaz Rahul Gandhi," referencing alleged derogatory remarks made by Gandhi about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother during his 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar, where elections are imminent.

Speaker Devnani repeatedly urged both sides to maintain decorum, emphasizing that the Assembly is not a "marketplace or street" and reminding the Leader of Opposition to uphold the House’s dignity by avoiding inappropriate language. Despite his efforts to pacify the members, the uproar persisted, disrupting the session’s proceedings. After paying tributes to departed leaders, Devnani adjourned the House until Wednesday, with Tuesday declared a holiday for Ramdev Jayanti.

The clash reflects escalating political tensions in Rajasthan, with both parties leveraging the Assembly as a platform to air grievances. The BJP has been vocal in its protests against Gandhi’s alleged remarks, while Congress continues to accuse the ruling party of electoral malpractices. The adjournment delays critical discussions scheduled for the Monsoon session, including debates on state policies and development initiatives, leaving the Assembly’s agenda in limbo until the House reconvenes.
