Video clip of ‘Rajasthan speaker’ goes viral

JAIPUR: Avideo of a conversation between Rajasthan speaker C P Joshi and CM Ashok Gehlot’s son Vaibhav has gone viral in which the former is heard saying if the 30 rebel MLAs “had gone”, it would not have been possible to save the government.
In the purported discussion between the two, Joshi says, “Nothing could be done had 30 MLAs left the camp… They could have toppled the government.” The veracity of the video has not yet been ascertained.
Former deputy CM Sachin Pilot had initially claimed that he had 30 MLAs with him and the Gehlot government had become minority. The video allegedly was shot at Joshi’s residence when Vaibhav went to wish him on his birthday on Wednesday. BJP has demanded the Speaker’s’ resignation on moral grounds as he “showed his bias” in the conversation.
