The government's strictness in papers and statements every day, but the ground reality is different

The state government is constantly taking out orders of strictness. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is instructing people by tweeting almost daily. At the same time, even the ministers of the government are roaming around with a crowd. On Friday itself, local MLA from Bharatpur and Minister of State for Medicine, Dr. Subhash Garg went out to the market to celebrate Holi's Ram-Shyam. The minister himself and a few people had put on masks, but masks and social distancing were missing from the rest of the faces.

Similarly, just before Holi, the day the government released a new guideline, Transport Minister Pratapsinga Khachariwas was seen swinging in a maskless festival amid a crowd at the house of a Congress leader. Even though night curfew is being implemented to prevent corona. The day is ravaged in public places and markets. There is no restriction to control the crowd.
