Gehlot Cabinet To Meet, Rework Proposal To Governor For Assembly Session

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot chaired a cabinet meeting at his residence on Friday night, ending a long day of high drama which saw Mr Gehlot and the MLAs supporting him protesting for more than four hours at Governor Kalraj Mishra's house, accusing him of sitting on the request of calling an assembly session because he was "under pressure" to stall a test of strength. During the meeting that went on well past midnight, lasting for nearly two and half hours, the cabinet discussed the six points raised by the state Governor regarding calling as assembly session. The cabinet passed a proposal to call the assembly session, which will be sent to the Governor this morning. It was decided in the cabinet meeting that the agenda of the assembly session will be coronavirus and the economic crisis, sources said. Mr Gehlot has called a meeting of the council of ministers at 12:30 PM to rework the proposal for the Governor.
