Hours before the swearing-in ceremony, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot addressed the MLAs and workers to [acify the discontent. Gehlot said, "The contribution to the governance of those who could not be inducted in the cabinet is no less than those who have been made ministers today".
“The Cabinet’s structure could’ve been better. Those with a bad reputation have been promoted. Overall, Cabinet is not sending a good message. Women (MLAs) didn’t get 33% reservation (in the Cabinet),” Congress MLA Shafia Zubair said on the Rajasthan Cabinet reshuffle.
