The upcoming Presidential polls of the grand old Congress continue to amaze the observers and analysts. Out of nowhere, key leaders from Congress Shashi Tharoor, Digvijaya Singh, and Ashok Gehlot forayed into the list of aspirants for the post. Now a leader said he is out of the Congress Chief election now.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot met Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi earlier today. After the meeting, the Chief Minister made a big announcement that he is not running the Congress chief polls.
Earlier it was said that Ashok Gehlot was supported by the Gandhi family and he would give tough competition to the other participants. While everything was going fine, the Rajasthan unit of Congress saw a big political crisis with leaders dividing into two groups.
Reports say that mass resignations might have been made by the leaders who support Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot respectively. Amid this, he met the Gandhis and briefed the situation to Sonia Gandhi and others.
Experts say that the Gandhi family might have made Ashok Gehlot leave the polls to deal with the Rajasthan crisis. The crisis started with the debate on who should replace Ashok Gehlot as the Chief Minister.
While Ashok Gehlot’s supporters say the candidate picked by Gehlot should be made the new Chief Minister, the supporters of Sachin Pilot say he should be made the leader of the state. To bring the crisis situation under control, Ashok Gehlot might have decided to stay out of the polls.
