BJP behind conspiracy to topple Congress govt in Rajasthan: State minister
Amid an ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan, state minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas alleged on Tuesday that the BJP has again started hatching a conspiracy to topple the Congress government.
On the other hand, another minister, Rajendra Singh Gudha, once again endorsed senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot`s name for the chief minister`s post.
ED, income tax department, CBI officials are sitting in Rajasthan. BJP`s game has started. BJP is again engaged in a conspiracy to topple the Rajasthan government,” Khachariyawas told reporters.
He said whatever decision the Congress high-command takes as regards the latest political developments in the state will be acceptable to all.
The Congress in Rajasthan plunged into a crisis on Sunday as several MLAs loyal to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot resigned over a possible move to appoint Pilot as Gehlot`s successor, their rebellion erupting just ahead of a Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting.
Upset over the open rebellion, Congress president Sonia Gandhi sought a written report on it from party observers Mallikarjun Kharge and Ajay Maken on Monday as the chances of Gehlot becoming the party chief receded and other names cropped up for the post.
