Three ministers, close confidantes of the CM, have set the ball rolling by offering to resign.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has called a meeting of his council of ministers this evening where some of them are likely to resign. This might be the last meeting with the present cabinet ministers as the stage is now set for the much-awaited cabinet reshuffle in the state. Sources say the oath ceremony might take place at Raj Bhavan on Sunday.
Three ministers, close confidantes of the CM, have set the ball rolling by offering to resign. They have written to Sonia Gandhi offering to step down from their posts and work for the party. They have already been given organisational responsibilities. Harish Chaudhary, Revenue Minister and MLA from Barmer, has been made the party in charge for Punjab, he was seen as a key figure in steering the Congress in Punjab through the recent political crisis.
Raghu Sharma, MLA from Kekadi in Ajmer, has been made the party in charge for Gujarat - a state where the Congress hopes to revive its flagging political graph.
Govind Singh Dotasara, the state Education Minister, replaced Sachin Pilot as party president last year after Mr Pilot's rebellion against Mr Gehlot.
