Similar to Ashok Gehlot, the 75-year-old former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh has long been a Gandhi family supporter.
The Rajasthan Chief Minister was the front-runner until his supporters openly rebelled against him for the position of Chief Minister, upsetting the Gandhis and other influential figures in Delhi.
The Congress still holds to the belief that Gehlot will submit a nomination for the election. Whether he meets with Sonia Gandhi today will determine that.
