Jaipur: House proceedings resumed in Rajasthan Legislative Assembly on Friday after Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot apologised for reading the old Budget.
CM Ashok Gehlot presented budget 2023 after he said, "I feel sorry, what happened was by mistake." The opposition alleged that CM read the old budget at the start of the budget presentation.
Gehlot further stated, "You (Opposition) can point out only if there's a difference between what's written in the budget in my hand and its copies were given to the House members. If a page was added to my budget copy by mistake, how does the matter of leaking of budget arise?"
Meanwhile, BJP leader Vasundhara Raje said, "It seems to have happened first in history. I read and checked the budget two, or three times. How can a person miss to cross check such a important document?"
