As per reports, ten new ministers would most likely be inducted at the cabinet in a bid to maintain the power balance between Gehlot and Pilot camps. The swearing-in ceremony is expected to take place at the governor’s house at 4pm on Sunday.
The three ministers who had resigned on Friday include state education minister Govind Singh Dotasra, Harish Chaudhary and Raghu Sharma.
Govind Singh Dotasra told ANI, “Keeping the ‘Ek Pad Ek Vyakti’ discipline of the Congress party, we have given our resignations to party president Sonia Gandhi. I will work as a party worker to see that the people in Rajasthan are getting the benefits of the state government’s schemes.”
