Depiction of Rajasthan Assembly building in filmmaker K C Bokadia's political thriller "Dirty Politics" has not gone down well with some of the MLAs, with BJP MLA Ramlal Sharma expressing "serious concern" over it.

The issue echoed in the Assembly today as the BJP MLA wanted to know from Speaker Kailash Meghwal as to who had given the permission to shoot the Assembly from outside.

During the Zero Hour, Ramlal Sharma expressed "serious concern", saying that "it puts all MLAs in an awkward situation".

"In the morning my son asked me if I was going to the same Assembly which is shown in the 'Dirty Politics' and I felt embarrassed," Sharma said.
 

Responding to this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister R S Rathore assured the House that if the Assembly was wrongly depicted in the movie action would be taken after watching it.

"Dirty Politics", a Hindi movie, written and directed by K C Bokadia and starring Mallika Sherawat, is loosely based on the Bhanwari Devi case in which an ex-Congress Minister and ex-MLA were in jail and facing court trials in Jodhpur.
