Rajasthan plunged into a political crisis after differences between the Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan and as the state unit chief of the party. 

Rajasthan political stalemate has taken a new turn as Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sent a new proposal to Governor Kalraj Mishra to call assembly session from July 31.

However, the proposal Governor Kalraj Mishra does not mention the Rajasthah crisis or proving majority by the Ashok Gehlot faction. The proposal that has been sent to the Governor states that the cabinet seeks to have a special discussion on coronavirus and to introduce six bills. However, Ashok Gehlot looks in no mood to let go of what his faction as "BJP's conspiracy to topple the Congress government in the state" as he said on Saturday that if necessary Congress MLAs will meet the President and hold a sit-in outside the prime minister's home to settle the Rajasthan crisis.

On Friday, Congress MLAs had squatted on the lawns of the Raj Bhawan for five hours, demanding a session of the Vidhan Sabha. In Rajasthan news today, Congress will run a nationwide digital campaign "speak up for democracy" as the party accuses the BJP of "murdering democracy".

Sachin Pilot and his rebel camp, meanwhile, remain holed up in Manesar, without much word from any of them.
