What did Gehlot say on resignation from the post of CM?
In a meeting with Congress leader Sonia Gandhi on Thursday, 29 September, Gehlot was seen avoiding the question of offering to resign from the post of Chief Minister of Rajasthan. He did not give any direct answer and said that I have held many posts for the last 50 years with the blessings of the Gandhi family. Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi gave me their blessings. For me the position does not matter, but what matters is how to strengthen the party. I will try my best for this.
‘I will do what the high command decides’
Ashok Gehlot also said that if I leave any post now, it will be said that when Congress was going through a crisis, Ashok Gehlot is running… I will do what will be the decision of the high command. Let us tell you that Gehlot met party President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday and apologized for not being able to meet the Congress Legislature Party in Jaipur and related developments. He had also said that he will not contest the election for the post of President.
