Jaipur: Accusing Bharatiya Janata Party of the political tussle in Rajasthan, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that BJP is conspiring to bring down the Rajasthan government and also urged Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra convene an Assembly session.

The ex-Congress chief's latest tweet, read: There is a rule of law in the country. Governments are formed and run by the majority. It is an insult to eight crore people of Rajasthan.

  • देश में संविधान और क़ानून का शासन है।

    सरकारें जनता के बहुमत से बनती व चलती हैं।

    राजस्थान सरकार गिराने का भाजपाई षड्यंत्र साफ़ है। ये राजस्थान के आठ करोड़ लोगों का अपमान है।

    राज्यपाल महोदय को विधान सभा सत्र बुलाना चाहिए ताकि सच्चाई देश के सामने आए।#ArrogantBJP

Gandhi also urged Governor Kalraj Mishra to convene an Assembly session at the earliest for a trust vote. He said, "The Governor should convene an Assembly session so that the truth comes before the country."

On other hand, Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra on Friday wrote a letter to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot after the latter said that his government will not be responsible if people of the state "gherao" Raj Bhavan.

"Before I could discuss the matter with experts regarding Assembly session, you have publically said that if Raj Bhawan is 'gheraoed' then it is not your responsibility. The statement you made in which you have given political colour to both constitutional request and constitutional decision. "Is this not the beginning of a wrong trend where MLAs protest at Raj Bhawan?" Mishra said.

"If any letter comes from you then I need to take a constitutional decision while doing a thorough investigation of the case under the provisions provided by the Constitution," Mishra said.

"If you and your Home Ministry can't protect the Governor then what about law & order in the state? What agency should be contacted for the Governor's security? I've never heard such a statement from any CM," the letter read.

Gehlot had earlier met the Governor, requesting him to call a session of the assembly and take a decision on the matter in line with the Constitution of India. At the same time, the Governor has refused to allow a session in this pandemic period.

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Governor agrees to call session, Cong MLAs end dharna at Raj Bhawan.
