According to ANI, after the Rajasthan government on Wednesday gifted iPhone 13 to 200 of its MLAs, BJP legislators have decided to return their gifts keeping in mind the “financial burden” on the state.
Rajasthan BJP President Satish Poonia said in a tweet that party MLAs will return their iPhones.
“After discussion with Gulab Kataria ji and Rajendra ji and other MLAs, it has been decided that all the BJP MLAs from Rajasthan will return the iPhone given by the Congress government keeping in view the financial burden on the state government.”
Commenting on the budget presented in the House, Poonia said that it seems that the budget was taken to a beauty parlor and presented with good make-up.
Significantly, the BJP has 71 MLAs in the 200-member house.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led Rajasthan government today gifted iPhone 13 to all its MLAs after presenting the state budget in the assembly.
Last year, along with the budget copy, the MLAs were given iPads.
Usually legislators are given a copy of the budget in a briefcase, but this time they were given a leather briefcase with an iPhone 13 inside, along with a copy of the budget.
