Rajasthan Assembly Passes Bills Amid Protests, Ruckus
The Rajasthan Assembly had a heated meeting!
Congress members protested about crop damage from heavy rains, causing disruptions.
Despite this, the government passed three important bills.
One bill changes factory rules, allowing workers to work longer hours and women to work night shifts.
Another approved more money for the state.
The third bill addressed Goods and Services Tax (GST).
The government says the changes will help workers and the state's economy, while the opposition focused on helping the affected farmers.
Congress MLAs protested crop losses due to heavy rains during the session.
