Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot met Kalraj Mishra State Governor on Saturday night. Gehlot submitted a list of MLA’s who are in support of him.
He also raised the possibility of a assembly session next week for the Governor to have a trust vote against Sachin Pilot and 18 other MLA’s.
The meeting lasted around 45 minutes at Raj Bhavan. During the meeting Gehlot is understood to have an assembly session till Wednesday.
All the members are not clear but Gehlot have more possibility to win the trial.
“The assembly session will pave the way for stern action against Pilot and his band of rebel MLAs,” a senior party office-bearer said.
According to Times of India, Parliamentary affairs minister Shanti Dhariwal confirmed to TOI that Gehlot submitted a list of MLAs to the governor and that the figure was well above the majority mark of 101 in the 200-member assembly. Congress has 107 MLAs, 19 of whom constitute the rival Pilot camp.
Dhariwal said, “The CM meeting the governor does not mean it is for an assembly session.”
“If the government clears the trust vote now, the law does not permit another one for six months,” he said.
The support of independent legislators will play a vital role for the Government survival.
