“Sachin Pilot, few Congress ministers and MLAs got involved in the conspiracy to topple the Congress government by getting entangled within the trap of BJP,” he added.

The decision was taken after a Congress legislature party (CLP) meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in Jaipur, Rajasthan earlier today.

The Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil over the past few days. While chief minister Ashok Gehlot has blamed the BJP for attempting to destabilise the state government by poaching MLAs, deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot has been camping in Delhi.
A controversy broke out in Rajasthan after special operation group (SOG) sent a notice to Pilot to record his statement in the case registered by SOG in the alleged poaching of Congress MLAs in the state.
