New Delhi: In a big twist in political developments in Rajasthan, 92 MLAs of the Ashok Gehlot loyalists threatened to resign. After hours of this high-drama, however, they left the speaker's home and went home.
Meanwhile, the key meeting of MLAs will be held on a later date, sources said
A mass resignation can bring down the strength of the house to 108 where the halfway mark will be at 55. The BJP has 70 MLAs.
Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, meanwhile, has asked central observers to meet Team Gehlot MLAs to resolve the crisis.
These MLAs have reached the residence of Assembly speaker CP Joshi in Jaipur.
Earlier, the MLAs considered close to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot met at the home of Cabinet Minister Shanti Dhariwal where the next Chief Minister is expected to be named.
In the meeting, the Gehlot loyalists raised the issue of Sachin Pilot's rebellion in 2020 and said the Chief Minister must be from among those who supported the government at the time.
