After rebuffing the Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's request for holding an assembly session thrice, Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra gave the nod to hold assembly session from August 14.
The impasse between the Gehlot government and the governor has been on since last week, when Congress MLAs staged a five-hour sit-in at the Raj Bhawan demanding the session. Amid nationwide protests by Congress workers over the issue, Governor Mishra had earlier said he had no intention of not calling a session.
The governor had earlier returned the proposal to call an a session of the assembly saying a 21-day notice is necessary for the same and expressing concern about the coronavirus situation.
Rajasthan plunged into a political crisis earlier this month after Sachin Pilot was removed from the posts of deputy chief minister and the state Congress president, amid a tussle for power with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
Pilot has declared an open rebellion against the leadership of Gehlot, triggering a crisis in the state, which the Congress alleged was the handiwork of the BJP.
