Requested Governor to call Assembly session, but he is yet to decide, says Rajasthan CM Gehlot

The Hindu  

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said on Friday that he made a request to Governor Kalraj Mishra on Thursday night to convene an Assembly session from Monday, but the Governor was yet to take a decision. “We fail to understand why he is not taking a decision even after I handed over a letter to him with the formal request. The Chief Minister says he, along with the Congress MLAs, was going to the Raj Bhavan to make a request to the Governor once again to convene the Assembly session, while acting as a constitutional authority. If the Governor does not call the Assembly session and the people from the entire State lay siege to the Raj Bhavan, we will not be responsible,” Mr. Gehlot said.
