Claiming that the Gehlot government has failed in women's safety, Gudha made the introspection comment during the debate on the Minimum Income Guarantee Bill in the Assembly earlier in the day.

As Congress MLAs waved placards in protest against the incident of women being paraded naked by a rowdy mob in Manipur, Gudha said: "It is true that in Rajasthan, we have failed to maintain the safety of women. The way atrocities on women have increased in Rajasthan, instead of Manipur, we should look into our own selves."
