Congress Presidential Elections: Ashok Gehlot's return to Congress President's race? Spoke to Sonia Gandhi, and tried to persuade

Congress Presidential Elections: It is becoming a difficult task for the Congress high command to finalize the name of someone for the post of President. Earlier, when Ashok Gehlot's name was believed to be almost fixed, there were reports of Sonia Gandhi's displeasure with Gehlot after the political developments in Rajasthan on Sunday night. Gehlot has tried to persuade Sonia Gandhi by talking on the phone. Gehlot has told Sonia that she did not challenge the high command. Meanwhile, Congress party sources have claimed that Gehlot is still in the race for the post of president. On the other hand, the visit of Sachin Pilot to Delhi remains a topic of discussion in the political corridors. It is also being said that the high command is in the mood to reconcile Gehlot and Pilot.

Sources say that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is not out of the race for Congress president, although the revolt of more than 90 Rajasthan MLAs loyal to the Gandhi family has certainly upset him. Top Congress sources told NDTV that Ashok Gehlot is "still in the race for the post of Congress president and that has not been ruled out".

spoke to Sonia

There are media reports that Ashok Gehlot has spoken to Congress President Sonia Gandhi. He has spoken about the political turmoil in Rajasthan. He has said that he is not responsible for the developments in Rajasthan. He also said that he never challenged the high command. The Congress leadership is believed to be angry with Ashok Gehlot for hatching a conspiracy to embarrass the party amid Rahul Gandhi's "Bharat Jodi Yatra". Sources said the refusal of 71-year-old Sonia Gandhi to step down as the chief minister of Rajasthan has angered the leadership.

where did things go wrong?

A few days ago, during the India Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi repeated the one post one person formula in a press conference. On which Gehlot, who had earlier talked about holding both the CM and the President's post, also reversed and said that if he becomes the President, then the Chief Minister will leave the post. After this discussions started in the name of Sachin Pilot. On behalf of the high command, Mallikarjun Kharge and Ajay Maken reached Rajasthan but, as the Congress MLAs avoided the meeting of the central observers. The high command got angry. However, it is believed that the high command calmed down after Gehlot apologized and said that he did not have his hand in the developments in Rajasthan.

Next move of Sachin Pilot!

On the other hand, no statement has come out from Sachin Pilot's side yet. Although he had said on Monday that he is still in Rajasthan and there is no program to go to Delhi, suddenly he left for Delhi on Tuesday. It is being told that he may meet Sonia Gandhi. The pilot was silent in front of the media personnel. It remains to be seen whether Pilot's Delhi race will open the way for him as CM in Rajasthan.
