Jaipur: An important session of the Rajasthan Assembly in which Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government will move a vote of confidence began this morning.
The session comes after a month-long political crisis in the State which started with the rebellion by Sachin Pilot and 18 other Congress MLAs.
The Chief Minister chaired a CLP meeting on Thursday where the decision to move the vote of confidence was taken.
Pilot met Rajasthan Gehlot Thursday, the first time after he openly rebelled against the senior leader a month back.
Party leaders K C Venugopal, Avinash Pande, Randeep Surjewala, Ajay Maken and Govind Singh Dotasra were also there at the meeting, posing together for the cameras at Gehlot’s official residence.
Pilot and Gehlot shook hands in a moment marking the return of the sacked deputy chief minister and 18 other dissident MLAs to the party-fold, after the intervention earlier this week by the top Congress leadership in Delhi.
