Rajasthan CM wins trust vote in Assembly

August 14, 2020 16:16

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led Rajasthan Government wins vote of confidence in the State Assembly. Gehlot said it would be "a victory of truth" during the assembly session that began on Friday.

"Are agencies like ED, CBI and Income Tax department not being misused in the country? When you hold a conversation on the telephone, don't you tell the other person to join you on FaceTime and WhatsApp. Is this good thing in a democracy," he asked the Assembly.

The Congress government has said Gehlot will seek a vote of confidence after the opposition BJP said it will move a motion of no confidence against it. 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. With the disgruntled MLAs back in the party-fold, following the intervention of the top leadership, the Congress is likely to pass the floor test.
