Friday is the last day for the candidates to file their nominations for the Congress President. Gehlot was out of the race on Thursday.
Digvijay took the nomination form, which he will submit today. On the other hand, late in the evening, the leaders of G-23 held a meeting. From this meeting, it is speculated that any leader of the group can also submit a claim for the post of president. Among them, Manish Tiwari’s name is at the forefront.
On Thursday night, a meeting of the G-23 faction of the Congress party was held at the house of Congress leader Anand Sharma in Delhi.
Many big leaders of the Congress G-23 camp including Manish Tewari, Prithviraj Chavan, and BS Hooda were present at the meeting. After the meeting, Anand Sharma reached Jodhpur House in Delhi to meet Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot.
The names of these candidates are also in discussion
Digvijay Singh and Shashi Tharoor were among the contenders for the post of Congress President after Ashok Gehlot’s name was dropped. But after the G-23 meeting held on Thursday, the possibility of a third candidate coming has increased.
According to media reports, Mallikarjun Kharge may also file a nomination after meeting Sonia Gandhi on Friday morning. Apart from Kharge, the names of Meira Kumar, Mukul Wasnik and Kumari Selja are also in the news.
In a press conference on 29 September, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that he would not contest for the post of Congress President. He said that Sonia Gandhi will decide on the CM in Rajasthan. That is, the political drama is yet to come. This too will be full of mystery, thrill and entertainment. Exciting because with Gehlot’s press briefing, political pundits have started speculating.
Ashok Gehlot will not become the president and the way his ministers are giving statements, it is clear that Gehlot will not leave the CM post so easily. Even if left, it will not easily allow Sachin Pilot to become the CM, at least.
After the exit of Ashok Gehlot from the race for the post of Congress President, who will be the Chief Minister in Rajasthan, it will be decided in a day or two. Here, at around 8 pm on Thursday night, Sachin Pilot arrived to meet Sonia Gandhi.
Venugopal was also present there. After the meeting that lasted for about an hour, Sachin Pilot spoke to the media. He said – There was a detailed discussion with the high command regarding Rajasthan. Our aim is that we should form the government in Rajasthan next time also. Everything will be fixed.
