Nearly 100 Rajasthan Congress MLAs, who have been staying at a hotel near Jaipur, are being moved to Jaisalmer by special flight today. The MLAs - Ashok Gehlot claims the support of 102- will be sequestered at a different location till August 14, when the Rajasthan assembly session begins.
On Thursday, Mr Gehlot claimed that the "rates of horse trading" in Rajasthan have increased after the announcement of the assembly session on August 14. "After the assembly session was announced last night, the rates of horse trading have increased. Earlier, the first instalment was of Rs 10 crore and second was of Rs 15 crore. Now it has become unlimited and all know who is doing horse-trading," Mr Gehlot told reporters.
The Chief Minister, who has been guarding his flock rigorously, believes that he can win a trust vote at this time. He has a narrow lead - one over the majority mark of 101 in the 200-member assembly.

BJP ने TDP के 4 MPs को राज्यसभा के अंदर रातों रात मर्जर करवा दिया, वो मर्जर तो सही है और राजस्थान में 6 विधायक मर्जर कर गए कांग्रेस में वो मर्जर गलत है, तो फिर BJP का चाल-चरित्र-चेहरा कहां गया, मैं पूछना चाहता हूं? राज्यसभा में मर्जर हो वो सही है और यहां मर्जर हो वो गलत है?
