On Sunday, some Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs received calls from the office of Leader of the Opposition Gulab Chand Kataria to attend Monday s session, party sources said.
The calls were apparently meant to ensure that their absence does not encourage speculation of a rift in the party s Rajasthan unit.
In a hint of differences within the BJP, about 20 MLAs wrote to the state unit president Govind Singh Dotasra last month, claiming that their legislature party leaders were not allocating time for them to raise issues in the assembly.
Party leaders said some current and former MLAs and MPs were seen at Raje s event in Bharatpur on Sunday, triggering the phone calls from the Leader of Opposition s office.
Raj Budget ‘cut, copy, paste’ of BJP schemes: Poonia

Jaipur, Feb 24 : Rajasthan BJP chief Satish Poonia has termed the state Budget as “cosmetic”, alleging that it only looks good but its intent is not right.
“The Budget follows the ‘cut, copy, paste’ strategy of BJP schemes,” he said, adding that there has been nothing new announced for the unemployed. No information has been given on the infrastructure for schools, colleges or other institutions, he said.
Raising questions on the Budget, Poonia said, “What is new in today’s Budget? The Chief Minister could not say. They have done nothing except adding a few titles of Indiraji, Nehruji and Rajivji. The Budget fails to show how it can help in overcoming the pandemic’s effects. No road map has been made in this Budget. The CM has tried to protect himself politically.”
