Ashok Gehlot on a double-edged sword? Congress scattered in Rajasthan will send wrong message
The preparations for the election for the post of Congress President have intensified. At present, two names have emerged prominently on the panel. One of them is Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and the other is Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. Among them, the biggest challenge is in front of Ashok Gehlot. There has been a tremendous political upheaval in Rajasthan as soon as his name came up for the post of Congress President. If there are voices of support, then the voices of opposition are also getting louder. This is the biggest challenge for Gehlot. If the home state is scattered in the Congress in Rajasthan, then how Gehlot’s magic will work at the national level will also be a big question.
Don’t be weak ‘magic’
Ashok Gehlot is called the magician of politics. Now that he is ahead in the race for the post of National President, how long his magic can last will be a matter to be seen. In fact, Gehlot is involved in the race for the post of National President on one hand, while on the other hand, he is not able to give up the temptation of the chair of Rajasthan CM. In such a situation, if the Congress in Rajasthan weakens in any way, then it will also raise questions on Gehlot’s claim as the national president. The question may arise that if Gehlot cannot keep the unit of one state united, then how will he face the internal challenges of the Congress at the country level.
Making balance a priority in Rajasthan
Along with Ashok Gehlot, Rahul and Sonia are also well aware of this. This is the reason why today Mallikarjun Kharge and Ajay Maken are reaching Congress Legislature Party meeting. The Congress high command wants the decision to be taken unanimously so that the necessary balance is maintained in Rajasthan as well. Also, if Ashok Gehlot becomes the national president in future, then it can be an example across the country. From the perspective of 2024, there are many challenges before the Congress. In such a situation, this post will be a crown of thorns for its next president also.
Fear of pilot factor
According to the reports going on inside, he does not want to see Sachin Pilot as the CM of Rajasthan under any circumstances. For this, he is also making all kinds of manipulations. It is also being told that the formula of making Assembly Speaker CP Joshi as CM and Congress State President Govind Dotasara as Deputy CM can also be tried.
