Overview
- State Congress leaders accuse Speaker Vasudev Devnani of installing two additional cameras to monitor opposition MLAs, including women, outside the public live feed.
- Leader of the Opposition Tika Ram Jully says the cameras are recent purchases worth Rs 18.46 lakh and not part of the ongoing upgrade tender.
- Congress alleges the control system was placed in the Speaker’s chamber with access limited to him or his private staff, and claims attempts to erase evidence.
- The party submitted a memorandum to Governor Haribhau Bagade seeking a high‑level investigation and earlier protested in the House, including a boycott of the Chief Minister’s speech.
- Devnani rejects the charges as technically unsound, saying the 360‑degree security cameras do not violate individual privacy, while BJP leaders condemn remarks by Congress’s Govind Singh Dotasra.
