A decision on Rajasthan Chief Minister’s post will be taken in a day or two by Congress president Sonia Gandhi, a party leader said on Thursday even as embattled CM Ashok Gehlot met the party chief
Ending all speculation, embattled Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced on Thursday that he would not run for Congress president in the aftermath of the succession fiasco in his state.
Amid looming clouds over his candidature for Congress president’s post, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday met party interim chief Sonia Gandhi at her residence.
As showcause notices were shot off to the Congress leaders in Rajasthan following a rebellious move by MLAs supporting CM Ashok Gehlot, they are figuring out how to respond to them even as they reaffirm their support for the party's high command while taking a mellowed stance.
In the show cause notices to Rajasthan cabinet minister Shanti Dhariwal, party chief whip Mahesh Joshi and Rajasthan Tourism Development Council (RTDC) chairman Dharmendra Rathore, the Congress dubbed their actions as an "act of grave indiscipline".
