The political drama in Rajasthan intensifies as the Congress accuses Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani of favoritism towards the BJP. The controversy surrounds his decision not to disqualify Anta MLA Kanwar Lal Meena, sentenced to a three-year jail term, drawing allegations of biased legal application.

A delegation from the Congress, led by Opposition Leader Tika Ram Jully and state party chief Govind Singh Dotasra, made an urgent appeal to Governor Kalraj Mishra for intervention. They demand that the principles of law be applied uniformly, contrasting Meena's situation with Rahul Gandhi's swift Lok Sabha disqualification.

Jully underscores delays and asserts Speaker Devnani's actions align with BJP interests, highlighting Meena's ongoing police protection despite multiple pending charges. The Congress warns of imminent protests if swift action is not taken, casting a spotlight on the political implications of legal procrastination.
