After this, these shoes have now been prepared, which will be worn by the supporting MLAs and the people of Balotra at the Chief Minister’s residence.
Shoes were opened at the assembly gate
During the budget session of the year 2022, Pachpadra MLA Madan Prajapat raised the demand to make Balotra a district.

The demand to make Balotra a district has been going on for 40 years. MLA Madan Prajapat was fighting for this since then. Last year, for this resolution, Gehlot took off his shoes in the assembly.
