Jaipur: Before the Rajasthan Assembly elections, CM Ashok Gehlot made such a statement regarding the post of Chief Minister, due to which the internal strife of Congress can come to the fore once again. Gehlot said that he wants to leave the post of CM, but the chair is not leaving him and also the CM chair will not leave him.
Actually, there has been a long tussle between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot regarding the post of CM in Rajasthan. Both the leaders have been openly targeting each other many times. Before the elections, the Congress high command had asked both the leaders to end their mutual differences and contest the elections together. After this, Sachin Pilot was also included in the Congress Working Committee.
Ashok Gehlot said, there is so much love and affection between us that what should I tell you? The opposition (BJP) is worried as to why there are no fights between them (Gehlot and Pilot) now? You might be referring to Pilot Saheb but it is not so, all the decisions are being taken very well. When we all stayed in the hotel for 40 days and when I came out, I said that we will forget everything and will work now.
He said, all the tickets of Pilot Saheb are almost getting cleared. I did not point a finger at any of his tickets. What could be bigger than this? Gehlot said that after becoming the President, Sonia Gandhi first made me the CM. There must be some reason behind the high command’s trust in me. Rahul Gandhi is facing the situation within the country. We must strengthen their hands.
