Jaipur, July 27: On Monday, Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra ordered State Government to call for an Assembly Session. Not convening the Assembly was never the intention, he informed, according to an ANI update.  The move came after chief minister Ashok Gehlot told reporters that he spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi informing him about the Governor’s “behaviour”.

In the notification issued today, the Governor denied that he was delaying the summoning of the House session even though the Congress and the CM have accused him of being “under pressure from the top”.
