Rajasthan : There is only 9 days left for the nomination to start for the election of Congress President, but the party is currently busy in the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. Meanwhile, there is a discussion that the Congress High Command has selected the candidate for the post of President and he will be Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. But the matter does not end here. There are also discussions that Shashi Tharoor or any other leader of G-23 can contest for the post of president against Ashok Gehlot. If this happens, it will happen after a long time, when there will be a situation of election for the post of President in Congress. This has happened only twice in the history of the Congress that those who nominated rebels have won the election for the post of President.

Congress president became rebel leader only twice in history

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Purushottam Das Tandon had won. However, Bose had to withdraw due to opposition from Mahatma Gandhi and Tandon to Nehru. Congress sources say that the high command feels that Ashok Gehlot will be perfect as a non-Gandhi face. The reason for this is that he comes from OBC society. He has been the CM of Rajasthan thrice and he has a big stature even within the Congress. Above all, he is considered a close leader of all three Sonia, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka. In such a situation, the high command will not feel any kind of risk by taking them off.

If Gehlot becomes the president, who will get the post of CM?

There are even discussions that between September 24 and 30, Ashok Gehlot can file his nomination. If this happens, then everyone's eyes will be on another development that who will be the CM of Rajasthan after him. After Ashok Gehlot, the name of Sachin Pilot has definitely been in the discussion, but the CM himself wants to choose his successor, who is his trustworthy. In such a situation, along with the post of President, there can be a ruckus in the Congress for the CM of Rajasthan. The Congress high command can make Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav a minister under the new CM to create balance in Rajasthan. Apart from this, Ashok Gehlot can also be sent to Rajya Sabha in future.
