A Congress MLA reached the Rajasthan Assembly today in a colour-splattered attire after playing holi and was pulled up by the Deputy Speaker, who asked him to maintain the dignity of the House and come back after changing clothes.

As Ghanshyam, the Todabhim MLA, took his seat in the House, BJP deputy chief whip Madan Rathore objected to it his approach.

Rathore said Ghanshyam should have known that coming to the House after playing holi is against the norms.

Senior BJP leader Ghanshyam Tiwari recalled an MLA entering the assembly wearing a plate around his neck. He said the legislator was suspended from the House for seven days for his conduct.
 

Taking note of the matter, Deputy Speaker Rao Rajendra Singh told the MLA to change clothes and then come to the House.

Singh asked all legislators to strictly comply with the rules. He added that trooping into the Well, talking in the aisle of the House and while sitting in the seats is against the rules.
