The Rajasthan Assembly descended into chaos Monday after Chairperson Sandeep Sharma ordered marshals to evict suspended Congress MLA Mukesh Bhakar from the House, sparking an uproar from other Congress members. The tension reached its peak as an MLA fell and another claimed her bangles were broken during the commotion.

Slogan-shouting Congress members occupied the well of the House and staged a dharna even after an adjournment was announced. Speaker Vasudev Devnani had earlier adjourned proceedings multiple times amid conflicts over the appointment procedures for government lawyers.

Congress leaders including former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot condemned the suspension and called the actions undemocratic, further highlighting the deepening rift between the ruling and opposition parties in Rajasthan.
