Janjivan Bureau / New Delhi: Rajasthan government on Tuesday again wrote to Governor Kalraj Mishra, advising him to summon a session of the state assembly from July 31.
This is the third time the state cabinet has recommended to the Governor to call the house.
After a meeting of the cabinet today, another proposal was sent to Raj Bhavan asking for the session from July 31, the date suggested earlier.
The fresh proposal followed Governor’s move to return the last cabinet proposal with new queries, including whether the state would hold a floor test in which case the session could be called at a short notice. The Governor, in his letter to the cabinet, on Monday had said that normally a 21-day notice was in order to call a session.
The Governor wanted Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to specify if he would take a vote of confidence in the proposed assembly session.
The Congress, however, said the Governor’s queries were not in accordance with the Constitution and that the house agenda was finalised only after the house is summoned.
“All cabinet needs to tell the governor is to summon the session. The governor house should know that agenda is fixed once the session is notified,” Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi said.
