New Delhi, Sept 26: The members of the Congress Working Committee urged Sonia Gandhi to remove Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot from consideration for the position of party leader in light of the growing political crisis in Rajasthan over the choice of Ashok Gehlot’s successor.
As a result of their displeasure with recent political events in the state that is currently experiencing a crisis and the behaviour of the Gehlot camp’s MLAs, members of the CWC have filed a complaint against him with the party chairman, stating “It would not be good to lay faith in him and give him the responsibility of the party. The party top leadership should reconsider his candidature”.
The members have requested Sonia Gandhi to nominate another senior leader who is also a Gandhi family supporter as a candidate. Sonia Gandhi, at the behest of Ashok Gehlot, has taken cognizance of the MLAs of his camp not meeting the two observers Mallikarjun Kharge and Ajay Maken sent to Jaipur by the party leadership.
Notably, the Gehlot camp’s MLAs had skipped the Congress Legislative Party meeting (CLP).
