New guidelines have been issued for those entering the Rajasthan Assembly amid the relentless attack of coronavirus cases in the state. If the Gehlot-led Congress government proves its majority, it will hold its fort in the assembly and cannot be challenged for the next six months as per the constitution rule books. The Congress MLAs, who have being staying put at the Jaipur's Fairmont Hotel for over a month now, will travel in buses to reach the Vidhan Sabha at 9:30 am. Meanwhile, MLAs of Sachin Pilot camp will reach Vidhan Sabha on private vehicles. A Congress Legislature Party meeting chaired by CM Ashok Gehlot, attended by his former deputy Sachin Pilot among others, was held on Thursday. "The meeting was held in a very cordial manner in which discussions were held on moving the confidence motion in the assembly. All MLAs pledged that they will work with unity under the leadership of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot," AICC general secretary Avinash Pande said. Earlier on Thursday, CM Gehlot addressed the party legislators over the subject of Rajesh Pilot's open rebellion, asking them to "forget what has happened," leaders who attended the meeting said. "We could have proved our majority even without these 19 MLAs (Sachin Pilot and 18 MLAs who were supporting him) but it would not have given us happiness. We will bring a vote of confidence," CM Gehlot had stated on Thursday.
