Ashok Gehlot shows power to Gandhi Family, made 82 MLA resign to quash Gandhi Family’s preference for Sachin Pilot as next CM.
More than 80 Rajasthan Congress MLAs submitted their resignation letters to Assembly Speaker CP Joshi at his residence in a massive late night drama in the desert state. All MLAs who resigned will go to Ashok Gehlot’s official residence from the speaker’s house, sources told India Today TV.
MLAs of the Gehlot faction took a stand against Sachin Pilot and his candidature as the next Chief Minister if Ashok Gehlot is elected as the Congress chief at the residence of Cabinet Minister Shanti Dhariwala this evening. Gehlot loyalists want the next CM to be someone who supported the government during the open rebellion of Pilot in 2020.
Currently, Pilot has nearly 25 MLA’s with him whereas Gehlot has support of nearly 80 MLA’s along with some prominent leaders of INC Rajasthan.
