The BJP in Rajasthan will move a motion of no confidence in the State Assembly against the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government, leader of Opposition Gulab Chand Kataria said on Thursday.
The decision was taken in a BJP legislature party meeting held in Jaipur on Thursday.
After the meeting, Mr. Kataria told reporters that the motion of no confidence will be moved in the Assembly session which is beginning from Friday.
The Opposition party’s decision comes days after an “amicable resolution” of the nearly month-long political crisis in Rajasthan.
Congress leader Sachin Pilot had openly rebelled against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot last month along with 18 other party MLAs. He was then sacked as deputy chief minister and the party’s Rajasthan chief.
The Congress on Monday had said the crisis in Rajasthan was a “closed chapter” and all legislators supporting its government will work towards strengthening the state government and fighting COVID-19 and economic calamities.

The petitioners have challenged the merger of the six MLAs- Sandeep Yadav, Wajib Ali, Deepchand Kheria, Lakhan Meena, Jogendra Awana and Rajendra Gudha-with the Congress and demanded a stay on the execution of the order passed by the Speaker in this regard.
