Senior BJP MLA Ghanshyam Tiwari has urged Governor Kalyan Singh not to sign The Rajasthan Ministers' Salaries (Second Amendment) Bill, 2017 passed by the Assembly through voice vote during the budget session.
Tiwari had opposed the Bill, terming it as an attempt to establish feudalism by providing uncommon facilities to former chief ministers and was also served show cause notice by the party high command for his alleged indiscipline.
The BJP MLA has come out all guns blazing to attack the party's state leadership and urged the governor not to sign it.
Four days ago, he had opposed the state government's move to publish Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's picture on the lease deed (patta) to be distributed in urban camps.
Tiwari, in a statement, had said that urban development and housing department has issued directions to UITs and other authorities concerned with a format with the chief minister's photograph which is against the Supreme Court's direction.
He said that the patta should have the picture of the patta owner only and the chief minister's photo amounts to the contempt of the court.

The senior BJP MLA, a known Vasundhara Raje-basher, has claimed that he has been fighting 'corruption' and 'misgovernance' of his own government for the past two years.
The BJP on its part sidelined him and despite being a senior member, Tiwari was also denied a berth in Raje's cabinet.
The indiscipline notice issued by the national disciplinary committee had questioned Tiwari's decision to launch a parallel party, make statements against the state unit, boycott party meetings and conspire with the opposition against the party.
A reply has been sought within 10 days from him or else, disciplinary action will be initiated.
