Earlier in Rajasthan During may 2018 Ruling bjp party Bilara MLA Arjun Lal Garg has an shocking advice to the Dewasi community "Stop peddling drugs, it is a non-bailable offence. Go for gold, where bail is easily obtainable".

The advice came from the bjp lawmaker while addressing a gathering of the Dewasi community. A purported video clip of the MLA addressing the gathering where he made the alleged remarks has gone viral.

Referring to the problem of drug addiction and peddling, Garg said he had put a question in the assembly asking as to how many prisoners were lodged in the Jodhpur jail as an accused under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 Act.

Let me tell you truly that the Dewasi community broke the record of Bishnois in drug peddling, Garg purportedly tells the gathering.
