Jaipur: Accusing the BJP again of trying to topple his government, Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday said a complaint has been filed with state’s Special Operation Group for investigation into the matter.
Gehlot, however, refused to disclose names of those behind the toppling bids allegedly involving transfer of money for horse trading.
“A complaint has been lodged with the SOG so that investigation about those who are involved in this organised crime of money transfer could be conducted,” Gehot said at a press conference.
The MLAs have been staying at Shiv Vilas resort, Kuksas at Delhi highway since Thursday. Chief Minister Gehlot too stayed at the resort on Thursday night.
AICC general secretary Avinash Pande and one of the party candidates for Rajya Sabha polls, KC Venugopal, too were also present in the press conference at hotel JW Marriott in Kukas.
Elections for three Rajya Sabha seats will be held on 19 July for which the Congress has nominated Venugopal and Neeraj Dangi while the BJP has fielded Rajendra Gehlot and Onkar Singh Lakhawat.
In the Assembly of 200, the Congress has 107 MLAs and has the support of independent MLAs and legislators of other parties like Rashtriya Lok Dal, CPI (M) and Bhartiya Tribal Party (BTP).
Ruling Congress has enough majority to win two seats and the opposition BJP, which has 72 MLAs and support of three Rashtriya Loktantrik Party MLAS, has the numbers to comfortably win one seat.
