Chaos as Police Block Congress Workers’ March to Rajasthan Assembly Over ‘Dadi’ Remark

chaos erupted when Congress workers were blocked by police while marching to the venue. The protest was sparked by state Minister Avinash Gehlot’s controversial remark made during a discussion on February 21, in which he said, “in your Dadi’s name”—a statement widely interpreted as an allusion to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

The incident saw Congress leaders vocally condemning the remark and demanding a formal apology from Gehlot. Supporters of the opposition took to the streets in large numbers, leading to a tense standoff with law enforcement as they attempted to approach the Assembly. While the Congress faction decried the comment as disrespectful and politically charged, BJP leaders defended the minister, arguing that the issue was being unnecessarily politicized.

As the situation unfolded, police intervened to maintain order, resulting in an escalated atmosphere around the Assembly premises. The incident has added another chapter to the ongoing political controversies in Rajasthan, with both sides bracing for further developments in the heated political arena.
