Jaipur: Amidst the political turmoil in Rajasthan, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, during the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) meeting at Fairmont Hotel in Jaipur, today, said that his party will go to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to meet the President, if needed and even go to the extent of staging a protest outside the Prime Minister’s residence. Gehlot also said that the Congress will not let the BJP “succeed in their conspiracy”.
Meanwhile, CM Gehlot is likely to meet Governor Kalraj Mishra at 4 pm to submit a fresh proposal for convening Assembly session. He had sought time to meet the Governor to give a fresh proposal for convening Assembly session.
The chief minister had earlier in the day called a meeting of his council of ministers at his residence to rework on a proposal to the Governor over calling a session of the state assembly.
After Governor Kalraj Mishra refused to accede to Ashok Gehlot’s call for an Assembly session to prove his government’s majority, the Rajasthan chief minister, in a late-night meeting on Friday, discussed the six points raised by the Governor for calling an Assembly session.
The meeting was held at the chief minister’s residence which lasted for nearly two and a half hours.
The Governor had earlier sought a reply on six points from the state government, including about the reason to call a session of the Assembly for a floor test.
