Rajasthan: Delegation of BJP met state Assembly Speaker CP Joshi

A delegation of Rajasthan Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) submitted a memorandum seeking the Speaker’s stance on the purported resignation of MLAs of the ruling Congress to state Assembly Speaker CP Joshi on Tuesday.

“Due to the delay in decision-making, a situation of anarchy has emerged in Rajasthan. BJP waited for days and submitted a memorandum to the Speaker today to make a decision without delay,” Leader of Opposition in the Rajasthan Assembly, Gulab Chand Kataria said.

Talking to the media Kataria said, “There is uncertainty in Rajasthan regarding the status of those who had resigned (Congress MLAs). Are they still ministers? As a decision has not been made, BJP told Speaker to not stall it and make a decision so that people know the status.”

Meanwhile, at the residence the State Assembly Speaker CP Joshi and the BJJ delegation met.

“Congress MLAs had accepted that they are resigning (during the Rajasthan crisis). So, a decision should be made. The Speaker should clarify his stand,” BJP MLA Ramlal Sharma said.

BJP MLA Ramlal Sharma further added, “We will make all demands as per the rule (when asked if they will demand a Floor Test in the Assembly). Going by the statements of the leaders, the state government is in minority.”

Moreover, Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Monday said the party is working to form the government again in Rajasthan.

“In the last 30 years, whenever the Congress comes to the government in Rajasthan, it is unable to win the elections again and loses badly. We will do whatever we have to do to win the election and will work hard together,” Pilot said.

Talking about CM’s face for the Rajasthan election Pilot said, “There is the election in Rajasthan after 12 months and we will win.”
