Rajasthan crisis: Key Gehlot loyalist Dhariwal attacks Maken, accuses him of bias

Jaipur, Sep 26 (PTI) Rajasthan minister Shanti Dhariwal on Monday launched a frontal attack on Congress' state in-charge Ajay Maken, alleging that he was involved in a conspiracy to remove Ashok Gehlot as chief minister and was canvassing for Sachin Pilot.

With the party's bitter internal feud spilling into the open, Maken, who was sent as a central observer, had earlier in the day criticised MLAs loyal to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot for placing conditions for the resolution to be taken up in the legislature party meeting on deciding the next CM.

Maken had also said that holding a parallel meeting and not attending the official meeting of the legislature party is "indiscipline".
