Jaipur:

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot threw a microphone on the ground, apparently enraged after the general public handle system malfunctioned throughout a public occasion in Barmer. A purported video of the incident surfaced on social media.

The chief minister, who was sitting on a chair, threw the microphone in the direction of his left the place the Barmer district collector was standing. The collector picked up the microphone. Another mic was handed over to the chief minister.

The chief minister’s workplace denied an earlier interpretation of the video clip that the mic was thrown on the district collector. “The mic was not thrown at the district collector,” an official mentioned.

The incident occurred on the Barmer Circuit House on Friday night time when the chief minister was interacting with a gaggle of girls to gather suggestions on numerous authorities schemes meant for them.

As the chief minister tried addressing the group, the mic malfunctioned and, apparently offended, he threw it.

The chief minister once more misplaced his composure when he noticed some individuals standing behind the group of girls, and requested them to go away.

“Where is SP (superintendent of police)? Both SP and collector seem to be similar,” he mentioned.

Gehlot was on a two-day tour of Barmer.

During the occasion, the ladies advised the chief minister about numerous advantages of the schemes and thanked him for growing the honorarium of anganwadi employees.
