The Rajasthan Congress Legislature Party (CLP), which met here on December 5 for the first time after the party’s defeat in the Rajasthan Assembly election, passed a resolution authorising the party high command to appoint the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the State Assembly. The CLP meeting was held at the Pradesh Congress Committee’s (PCC) headquarters in the presence of three All India Congress Committee (AICC) observers.
Outgoing Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot moved the resolution, which was seconded by Pradesh Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra. Mr. Gehlot said the LoP should be nominated by the Congress president, to which all the newly elected MLAs agreed and raised their hands in support.
The AICC observers, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Mukul Wasnik, and Madhusudan Mistry, later had one-on-one meetings with the legislators. AICC Rajasthan in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa was also present.
