A meeting of Congress Legislative Party (CLP) will be held at Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot's residence at 10 am on Monday. CM Gehlot also called a meeting of party MLAs and ministers in Jaipur on Sunday night.

The crisis in Rajasthan Congress has deepened with state CM Ashok Gehlot and his deputy Sachin Pilot at loggerheads. While Gehlot is blaming BJP for trying to destabilise the state government by poaching MLAs, Pilot is camping in Delhi to speak to the party leadership regarding the political turmoil in the state.
