Govind Singh Dotasra: ‘Speaker looks at women’s clothes’, Dotasra makes serious allegations against Vasudev Devnani

Govind Singh Dotasra: A new storm has arisen in Rajasthan politics, where Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra has made a sensational allegation against Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani of spying on opposition MLAs, especially women MLAs. Dotasra claimed that the Speaker keeps an eye on the private activities of women through cameras installed in the rest room, which is against the dignity of a constitutional post. This statement has created a stir in the political corridors, while the Speaker has already rejected these allegations.

Dotasra's sharp attacks: 'Such a person should die by drowning'

While talking to the media at the state Congress headquarters, Dotasra directly targeted the Speaker. He said, "The Speaker is spying on the Congress MLAs. Especially wants to see women from the rest room. In what attire are they sitting? In what state are they sitting? What are they talking about? The Speaker is more focused only on women." Dotasra further added that this eye is not only on one or two prominent leaders, but special attention is being given to women.

Calling the matter shameful, he said, "A person holding a constitutional post like the Speaker has access to the rest room of his female MLA sisters by installing a camera for them. Such a person should die by drowning." Dotasara alleged that the Speaker is installing cameras as a spy so that he can listen to the opposition MLAs after the House is adjourned. He claimed that now wires are being removed from the rest room to erase the evidence of spying. "They are victims of frustration, they want to suppress our voice. Their countdown has started," Dotasara warned.

Support of former CM Gehlot: 'Very big crime'

Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot also raised his voice in this controversy. Gehlot said, "This is a very serious matter. Two extra cameras have been installed and the Speaker has kept its control system in his chamber. Only he can see it himself or his private secretary can see it. This is a very big crime. It should be investigated." With this statement of Gehlot, Congress seems to be preparing to take up the matter more seriously.

Background of the controversy: Two days of uproar and memorandum to the Governor

The controversy started with the installation of additional cameras by the opposition in the assembly. Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie had raised the issue in the House, where he alleged that these cameras are for spying and remain on even after the House is adjourned. Julie questioned the Speaker as to who has access to these cameras. There was a huge uproar in the Assembly for two days over this.

Speaker Vasudev Devnani had outright rejected the allegations and said that the cameras have been upgraded for the security of the House. He argued that these are necessary to provide 360 ​​degree view on YouTube and to protect devices like iPad in the House.

As the controversy escalated, Congress MLAs led by Julie met the Governor and submitted a memorandum. They demanded the formation of a joint committee to investigate the espionage case. Dotasara also said that this is a matter of investigation.

Congress campaign and Sukhjinder Randhawa's visit

This statement comes at a time when the Congress is preparing to run a statewide campaign from September 15 to October 15 on the issue of 'vote theft'. Rajasthan Congress in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa is also on a tour in this regard. Dotasara spoke to the media after a meeting with district presidents, division in-charges and assembly in-charges at the PCC headquarters. The Congress announced that the women MLAs will hold a press conference on this espionage case.

This controversy can create a new rift in the politics of Rajasthan, where the Congress is in the opposition and is constantly attacking the ruling BJP. There has been no new reaction from the Speaker yet, but the demand for an inquiry into the matter has intensified. Whether this is just political allegations and counter-allegations or there is any truth in it, it will be clear only after investigation.
