MP En Route To Parliament On Camel Stopped By Police, Provokes Outburst With Atal Ji Reference

Rajkumar Roat, BSP MP from Banswara-Dungarpur, questioned police after halting his camel ride to Parliament, citing Atal Bihari Vajpayee's bullock cart entry precedent.

Banswara-Dungarpur MP Rajkumar Roat, riding a camel, headed to Parliament from Rajasthan today. However, police halted him before reaching Parliament, leading to a heated exchange. Notably, he appeared in traditional tribal attire and questioned why he couldn’t ride a camel to Parliament when Atal Bihari Vajpayee could ride a bullock cart. He expressed dissatisfaction and stated plans to file a complaint.

Rajkumar Roat contested elections from the Banswara seat in Rajasthan on a regional party BSP ticket, having previously served as an MLA from the Chorasi constituency. Before the Lok Sabha elections, he allied with the Congress. He faced BJP’s Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya in the elections, having switched from Congress to BJP before the polls. Rajkumar Roat defeated the BJP candidate by a margin of 2,47,000 votes. In the elections, Roat received 8,20,831 votes, while Malviya received 5,73,777 votes.

Today marks the second day of the first session of the Lok Sabha. Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, and 261 other members will take oath as MPs and pledge secrecy. In line with this, Rajkumar Roat arrived at Parliament in traditional tribal attire today. However, police halted him beforehand. Despite the police intervention, he disembarked from his camel and walked to enter Parliament on foot. Notably, the Speaker will be elected through a voting process this time, as consensus between the government and opposition couldn’t be reached on the Deputy Speaker’s position.
