Congress MLA from Rajasthan’s Kathumar, Babulal Bairwa, has been admitted to Sawai Man Singh Hospital in Jaipur after facing breathing problem, news agency ANI reported. Bairwa is one of the Rajasthan Congress MLAs staying at the Fairmont Hotel in Jaipur.
This comes as the Rajasthan High Court is set to pronounce its judgement on the disqualification notices sent by Speaker CP Joshi to former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot and his supporting camp of lawmakers for skipping the CLP meetings by Congress chief whip. Pilot and other rebel lawmakers have challenged the notices.
Amid the political crisis in the state, Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot said an assembly session will be called soon and his government will prove its majority.
“The government has the majority figure... hundred percent... far more than the government requires. We are ready. If our chief minister calls the House... we are ready for the floor test,” Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra said on Thursday.

“They (Congress) commit sins... they put blame on the BJP. The BJP has become an institution for them to blame and mislead people,” Poonia said.
“The party whose leaders are either out on bail or in jail, are talking about democracy. But I think the people too have now understood that the chaos, instability in this state began under the rule of Chief Minister Gehlot and that of the Congress,” Poonia alleged.
Gehlot has written to Prime Minister Modi, alleging attempts to topple his government and named Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.
