New Delhi: Ashok Gehlot government received another blow on Friday, with Bharatiya Tribal Party (BTP) withdrawing support from state govt. Yesterday, Congress party lost to BJP in Panchayat Samiti and Zila Parishad elections, despite its support to farmers protesting against new farm laws. BTP withdrew its 2 MLAs from Gehlot government, however, this doesn’t put latter at any risk as Congress has around 118 MLAs in 200-member assembly. BTP extended support to Ashok Gehlot govt during confidence vote earlier this year.
