Congress President Election: Rahul will not contest for the post of Congress President! Will there be a contest between Gehlot and Tharoor?

Posted on 21st Sep 2022 by rohit kumar

The suspense on who will be the next president of Congress will end in a few days. There is little hope of Rahul Gandhi contesting the elections. In such a situation, the new President of Congress will certainly be from a non-Gandhi family. This will be the first time in 24 years that the Congress President will not be from the Gandhi family.

 

Rahul Gandhi will not contest elections!

 

Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi, who is on 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', does not seem to be willing to contest the elections. They do not even have the intention of coming back to Delhi after stopping the India Jodi Yatra. Rahul Gandhi has also made it clear that he is not in the race for the post of President. Although a resolution has been passed in many state units of Congress to make Rahul Gandhi the president, the former president says that he does not want to return after leaving the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'.

 

Gehlot will come to Delhi

 

Ashok Gehlot is coming to Delhi in this regard. Gehlot will meet Sonia Gandhi in the capital. Ashok Gehlot will also go to Kochi to persuade Rahul Gandhi. Gehlot said these things in a meeting of Congress MLAs in Rajasthan.

 

Gehlot Vs Tharoor match?

 

After the exit of Rahul Gandhi in the election race, the contest between Ashok Gehlot and Shashi Tharoor is believed to be fixed. There were also reports last month that Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi herself had offered Ashok Gehlot to take over the responsibility of the Congress party. At the same time, Shashi Tharoor also met Sonia Gandhi on Monday in this regard. Sources claim that Tharoor has been approved by Sonia Gandhi to contest the elections. After a few days, Tharoor may also announce to contest the elections. However, Ashok Gehlot remains the choice of the Congress's high command. In such a situation, Gehlot is sure to become the president.

 

Gehlot is loyal, Tharoor is outspoken

 

There are many differences between Ashok Gehlot and Shashi Tharoor. Gehlot is loyal to the Gandhi family. He also has vast experience in the organization. At the same time, Shashi Tharoor is a prominent member of the G-23 leader's group of Congress. In G-232020, he wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi calling for organizational change and demanded a change in leadership.
