Rajasthan Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi is very angry with the political turmoil in the state. Congress leader Ajay Maken, who reached Jaipur as an observer, said that we are not going to Delhi at the moment. We have been instructed by Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi to hold face-to-face talks with the MLAs of Rajasthan Congress. We will meet all the MLAs tonight. Ajay Maken said that Mallikarjun Kharge, another observer who came with us, will also talk to the MLAs. The Congress high command has told the observers that even if they have to sit all night, they should resolve the matter today.
Let us tell you that the key to power in Rajasthan is still with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. Now that Ashok Gehlot is going to contest the election for the post of Congress President and the picture of him sitting on the post of President is also gradually becoming clear, then the Congress high command wants to give power in the hands of another leader in the state. Two names came prominently in this. The first name is of Sachin Pilot, the arch opponent of Ashok Gehlot and the second name of the Speaker of the Assembly, Dr. CP Joshi.
