A special sitting of the Rajasthan Assembly session will commence from today. This sitting comes after the months-long political crisis in Rajasthan lead by the revolt of Congress MLAs, including then-Deputy CM Sachin Pilot against CM Ashok Gehlot. It is expected to be a powerful dramatic session as Congress and BJP are at loggerheads over the Gehlot government’s majority mark in the assembly.

BJP had earlier declared that they would bring the No-confidence motion against the Gehlot government.  However, Ashok Gehlot is confident of still holding the majority in the assembly.

CM Gehlot, on Thursday, said his government would seek a trust vote and “show the power of the Congress”. He has the support of at least 107 MLAs in the 200-member House, while Opposition BJP has 72.

Therefore, according to media reports, the Congress party itself will move a Confidence Motion when the house convenes at 11 am today.

If the Chief Minister moves a Confidence Motion, it will supersede the no-confidence motion moved by any other member, according to the rules. More importantly, as per convention, a no-confidence motion cannot be moved against a government for six months once it passes a no-confidence motion.

The decision to table Confidence motion was taken in the CLP meet on Thursday. Even Sachin Pilot was present in that CLP meet.
