Ashok Gehlot likely to be Rajasthan Chief Minister, according to sources
Two-time chief minister Ashok Gehlot will be chief minister of Rajasthan, sources in the Congress have told NDTV. An official announcement on the matter will be made soon, the sources said on Thursday.
Rahul Gandhi, who met both Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot at his residence yesterday, will make his final decision today. While Ashok Gehlot is backed by the party leadership, Sachin Pilot is popular among the youth. After yesterday's meetings, sources say Ashok Gehlot has an edge.
Party observer for Rajasthan KC Venugopal said, "Taking decision on CM is not an easy job. The final decision will be taken tomorrow (today, Friday) in a meeting to be held around 10 am."
On the other hand for Chhattisgarh, frontrunners TS Singh Deo and Bhupesh Baghel have been called to Delhi from Raipur for discussions with top party leaders.
