The notice comes after Speaker Y. Khemchand advanced proceedings on disqualification of 7 Congress MLAs, who crossed over to the BJP, to 18 June from 22 June.
Rajasthan Congress is fearing attempts by BJP to 'poach' MLAs ahead of 19 June Rajya Sabha polls. In Gujarat too, party has shifted MLAs to different resorts.
