A key session of the Rajasthan assembly in which the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government will move a vote of confidence began Friday.

The chief minister chaired a CLP meeting on Thursday where the decision to move the vote of confidence was taken. The CLP meeting was also attended by the 18 MLAs who had revolted along with Pilot, a party leader had said. However, the Opposition BJP said on Thursday that the party will move a motion of no confidence against the government.

In a House of 200, the party has 107 MLAs and the support of independents and allies. The BJP has 72 members. In view of the coroanvirus pandemic, special arrangements have been made in the House.
