Unruly scenes were witnessed in the Rajasthan Assembly on Wednesday where members of the Opposition created an uproar in the Well of the House, forcing the Speaker to call in marshals to push them out of the House.
The House was adjourned for an hour after the uproar, which Home Minister Gulabchand Kataria termed as “frustration of the Congress” over its repeated defeats in the elections.
During the Question Hour, Speaker Kailash Meghwal did not allow Congress whip Govind Dotasara to ask a supplementary question.

Despite the denial, Mr. Dotasara continued asking the supplementary question. When the Speaker did not allow him, the Congress members created an uproar and stormed to the Well.
Independent MLA Hamuman Beniwal and BSP MLA Manoj Nyangli also joined the protest.
Mr. Kataria, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore, government Chief Whip Kalulal Gurjar, Deputy Chief Whip Madan Rathore and other BJP MLAs criticised the Opposition for its behaviour.

Mr. Kataria said the Congress has been facing defeat in Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Dholpur by-election and now they are also losing in the Delhi MCD polls.
“You are just shouting here in frustration. People of Rajasthan are watching your drama,” he said.
Mr. Kataria said the Congress would not be able to win seats in double digit in next Assembly elections in Rajasthan.
The Speaker warned the protesting members of stern action against them for “indiscipline.”
He said it has become their habit to waste the time of the House.
Meanwhile, Mr. Rathore proposed that the Opposition members be pulled out of the House to which the speaker called in marshals and adjourned the House for an hour.
The marshals lifted Congress deputy whip Govind Singh Dotasara, Congress MLA Dheeraj Gurjar, Ashok Chandna, BSP MLA Manoj Nyangli and took them out of the House.
The other MLAs were also pushed out of the House.
