The Congress government in Rajasthan, headed by CM Ashok Gehlot, is facing a political crisis after sacked Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot along with over a dozen MLAs revolted against the party. While the Ashok Gehlot maintains that they have the support of over 100 MLAs in the 200-member Rajasthan assembly, Pilot had reportedly claimed that the Congress government was in minority. Sachin Pilot Says 'I'm Not Joining BJP'.

To thwart poaching attempts, the Congress party has lodged its MLAs at Hotel Fairmont. It removed Sachin Pilot from the Deputy CM and Rajasthan state president's posts. The crisis in Rajasthan started last week after Pilot along with his loyal MLAs went incommunicado. Pilot, who is the son of former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader Rajesh Pilot, has not attended the two crucial Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meetings on two days- Monday and Tuesday.
