Rajasthan crisis: Congress observers recommend action against 3 Gehlot loyalists

Jaipur, 27/9: Congress observers for Rajasthan on Tuesday recommended disciplinary action against three party leaders, including two ministers, for the crisis in the state, but did not seek any action against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.

The three Gehlot loyalists against whom action has been recommended are Cabinet Minister Shanti Dhariwal, Minister and Congress Chief Whip in the Assembly Mahesh Joshi, and MLA Dharmendra Rathore.

 

The observers – Mallikarjun Kharge and Ajay Maken – submitted their report to party chief Sonia Gandhi Tuesday evening, flagging “gross indiscipline” on the part of some leaders who organised a parallel meet of MLAs instead of joining a Congress Legislature Party meeting.
