He said youngsters of the state were looking forward to the decision of the meeting in the hope of a relaxation.

He said “a tremendous revolt would happen” if the curfew timing was not altered, and that there was a risk that despite the ban “people will celebrate on roads”.

"Who is going to listen to you?" he said, referring to the health minister.

As the row heated, Gehlot had to intervene and ask Khachariyawas to drop the matter.

He said their sentiments were conveyed to the people as 1.90 lakh people were watching the meeting live on social media platforms.
