New Delhi: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday made a major blunder while presenting state govt’s Budget.
The Chief Minister started reading the Budget for financial year 2022-2023 but after it was only after seven minutes, it came to notice that he was reading previous year’s Budget. He was reportedly interrupted by Chief Whip.

Pandemonium broke out in the house, as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members created ruckus over the goof-up and loudly protested in the well of House. The House was adjourned for nearly 30 minutes.
After the House reconvened, Chief Minsiter Ashok Gehlot started presenting the Budget again.
The faux pas comes despite Rajasthan government making this year’s Budget presenation a mega affair, with state govenrment publicizing the event with big advertisements in newspapers.
BJP tears into Gehlot over gaffe
Rajasthan BJP leaders moutned attack on the Chief Minister for making such a glaring error in reading state’s biggest document.
Vasundhara Raje slammed the Chief Minister and said, “never in the history such incident has occured”.
Recalling her stint as the state’s Chief Minister, Raje said that she used to carefully deliberate the document multiple times, before presenting it before the House.
“Such error is unaccetable & only goes to show the sad state of affairs in Gehlot regime”, Raje said.
