Ashok Gehlot Out Of Congress President’s Race, New Speculations And Names Emerge

Jaipur, 26th September 2022: The race for the post of Congress President has become interesting due to the Rajasthan crisis. Ashok Gehlot’s fascination for the post of CM seems to be overshadowing, and he has been thrown out of the race for Congress President, according to sources from Congress.

Party sources say that the Gandhi family has not liked Ashok Gehlot’s bid to resign 82 MLAs against the wishes of the high command. In such a situation, the Gandhi family is no longer taking the risk with him. Not only this, there are discussions that another leader can be brought to the post of CM.

Now it is being said that leaders like Mallikarjun Kharge, Mukul Wasnik, and Kamal Nath have also come into the race for the post of President. Not only this, but Digvijay Singh can also contest for the post of President. KC Venugopal, a close aide of Rahul Gandhi and general secretary of Congress, is also likely to contest the position. It is being said that at present, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are churning who should be supported for the Presidential election. Earlier, the Gandhi family had made up their mind about Ashok Gehlot, but due to his actions, their trust has been shaken.

The nomination for the post of Congress President was to start on Monday, but till now no one has done it. The political crisis in Rajasthan has also complicated the race for the post of president. On one hand, there is a situation of confusion regarding Rajasthan, while even as the president, the high command is now considering betting on someone more trustworthy. Till now, KC Venugopal’s name was not there in this race, but suddenly his name has also come into the discussion. The reason for this is that he is close to Rahul Gandhi and comes from South India, where the Congress is trying to strengthen itself.

For many years, KC Venugopal has played a role in important affairs of the party and he has been close to Rahul Gandhi. In such a situation, his coming to the post of President will strengthen the hold of Rahul Gandhi in a way. Leaders like Ashok Gehlot and Kamal Nath are considered close to Sonia Gandhi. With KC Venugopal becoming the presidential nominee, a message will also be sent that the party is taking forward youth leaders.
