Recounting his four years as governor, Kalraj Mishra said he dedicated himself to constitutional culture.
Earlier on Wednesday, Governor Kalraj Mishra had snubbed Ashok Gehlot's demand for Assembly session from Friday and returned the third proposal send by the ruling Congress government in Rajasthan.
The requirement of a 21-day notice, sought to be justified by the Governor’s supporters on the grounds of the coronavirus epidemic, is neither here nor there as it would not apply in either situation – that is whether Mr Mishra believes the government enjoys majority support or does not.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Congress government had sent a fresh proposal to the Governor seeking to summon a special Assembly session from Friday, which also reportedly included the state government’s reply on the three conditions to be met to convene the session.

Rahul Gandhi’s demands came right after Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s march towards the Raj Bhavan along with his supporting MLAs.
Congress MLAs on Friday staged a dharna at the Raj Bhavan, urging Mishra to give approval for calling a special Assembly session.
After Congress MLAs loyal to Gehlot on Friday held a five-hour sit-in at the Raj Bhawan to press for an assembly session, the governor assured that he will go by the constitutional provisions on summoning an assembly session.
Since the Governor has not responded to the plea, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said he and the Congress MLAs supporting him will directly make a collective request.
