Independent MLAs back Gehlot
The Hindu
They denounce the ‘pressure tactics’ of the Pilot camp for political appointments
Independent MLAs supporting the Congress government in Rajasthan on Wednesday expressed faith in the leadership of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot amid the demand for a share in power raised by former Deputy CM Sachin Pilot’s camp in the ruling party. The independent legislators said the Cabinet expansion and reshuffle was solely Mr. Gehlot’s prerogative. Twelve of the 13 Independents, who met at the Circuit House here, adopted a resolution denouncing the “pressure tactics” of the Pilot camp for political appointments and getting berths in the State Cabinet. The MLAs, most of whom are of the Congress background, said they were not hankering after power and had no desire to become Ministers.More Related News
