Jaipur: The election process for the post of National President of Congress has started in Delhi, but the wind seems to be changing the fastest in Rajasthan. Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot has geared up to contest the election of Congress President. For this, he may have to resign from the post of Chief Minister. In view of this, the ministers and MLAs in his camp are now fighting to maintain their status in the new government. After Gehlot, it is also believed that the throne of Rajasthan will go to Sachin Pilot.

Ashok Gehlot, who is contesting for the post of Congress president, had said that his successor would be decided by the party's interim president Sonia Gandhi. After this, the Congress President has appointed Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge and party General Secretary Ajay Maken as observers for the meeting of Congress Legislature Party in Rajasthan to be held on 25 September. At the same time, the party's high command, including former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, has also made it clear that the "one man one post" principle adopted in the Udaipur Declaration is to be followed.

Congress General Secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal tweeted, "Congress President has appointed Mallikarjun Kharge as Observer along with Ajay Maken. A meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly will be held on September 25 at 7 pm, the secretary of AICC, in-charge of Rajasthan.'' At the same time, the political equations in Jaipur have changed rapidly in the last 48 hours. MLAs and ministers supporting Ashok Gehlot are now seen trying to get a place in Sachin Pilot's camp.
