The 16th Rajasthan Legislative Assembly convened on Thursday at 11 a.m. in Jaipur for the opening of its sixth monsoon session. The session, part of the state's regular legislative calendar, marks the continuation of discussions on pending bills and state policies.
During the inaugural proceedings, members observed a moment of silence and offered floral tributes to seven former legislators who had recently passed away, acknowledging their contributions to the state's political landscape.
The assembly witnessed heightened political tension as a Congress MLA staged a dharna inside the chamber, protesting alleged procedural issues. The protest added a confrontational tone to the otherwise ceremonial start of the session.
Despite the disruption, the Speaker proceeded with the agenda, outlining the key bills slated for debate over the coming weeks.
