Jaipur: Amid the ongoing political upheaval in Rajasthan, Governor Kalraj Mishra, accepting the request of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s cabinet, announced to call a session of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. Along with this, the Governor dismissed the allegations of delay in convening the assembly session. Please tell that many senior Congress leaders had accused the Governor of delaying the convening of the assembly session.
The notification issued by the Rajasthan Raj Bhavan on Monday said, “Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra has ordered the state government to convene the assembly session.” Along with this, in the notification, the governor denied that he was delaying in calling the assembly session.
“The Raj Bhavan (Governor) has no intention of not calling the assembly session,” said Mr Mishra in a statement in which he raised three questions. He asked whether the Chief Minister wanted to bring a trust vote. “Do you want to bring a confidence motion? As it is not mentioned in the proposal but in public you (Mr Gehlot) are making statements that you want to bring a Confidence Motion,” Mr Mishra asked.
The Governor also said it would be difficult to call all MLAs at a short notice during the pandemic. “Can you consider giving 21 days’ notice to the MLAs?” – his note asked. His third question was how social distancing will be maintained during the session.
When he rejected Mr Gehlot’s first proposal on Friday, the Governor had given six reasons. He had pointed out that the proposal did not mention any agenda and also asked for a date.
