New Delhi: Congress party workers on Saturday staged a protest at all district headquarters in Rajasthan against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s alleged “conspiracy to murder democracy”. This comes a day after former party president Rahul Gandhi accused the saffron party of hatching a conspiracy to topple the Gehlot-led government in Rajasthan.
He asked the state Governor Kalraj Mishra to call an assembly session so that the ‘truth comes out before people’.
Notably, Rajasthan plunged into a political crisis after differences between former deputy CM Pilot and CM Gehlot came out in the open. On July 14, the grand old party sacked Pilot as the deputy chief minister Rajasthan and as the state unit chief of the Congress.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has called a meeting of the council of ministers at 12:30 PM to rework the proposal for the state Governor requesting him to convene an assembly session.
