Former chief minister Ashok Gahlot has slammed the Delhi government after 70+ photographs by artist Rahan Wadra were removed from a display at the Beikaneer House.
The Beikaneer House in Delhi hosted a photo exhibition by artist Rahan Wadra, showcasing a collection that included more than 70 photographs. The display was abruptly altered when several images were removed from the gallery.
The removal of the photographs sparked immediate criticism from former chief minister Ashok Gahlot, who accused the ruling BJP government of suppressing artistic expression. Gahlot’s remarks were directed at the Delhi administration’s decision to excise the images.
The incident has drawn attention to the broader debate over censorship and the role of government in regulating public art displays. No further details have been released regarding the rationale behind the removal or the response from the gallery’s management.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between political authorities and creative communities in the capital, as artists and officials navigate the boundaries of public expression.
