Jaipur, July 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will meet Governor Kalraj Mishra this afternoon along with the Congress MLAs supporting his government to show the majority he enjoys in the House, officials said on Friday.
On Thursday, Gehlot met the Governor and discussed convening of the Assembly session that the government planned to convene on Monday to show his majority support in the House. However, there was no reply from the Governor's House till the filing of the report.
Gehlot came up with the plan to meet the Governor soon after the High Court on Friday ordered a status quo with regard to the July 14 disqualification notices served by Speaker CP Joshi to 19 rebel MLAs, including Sachin Pilot, who was sacked as Deputy Chief Minister and PCC chief.
The High Court also accepted a plea to make the Centre a party to the case.
Since the court has said that the rebels cannot be disqualified, for now, the Gehlot camp planned to show his strength to the Governor's house, a Raj Bhavan official said. Gehlot will visit the Raj Bhavan alone first, and thereafter, the MLAs will visit the Governor's residence amid tight security, he added.
"This is a propaganda to garner sympathy. The CM, as per the Constitution, needs to show his strength on the Assembly floor," said state BJP chief Satish Poonia.
