On the one hand, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is planning to expand his cabinet expansion. On the other hand, a camp in the party is considering him as a better option to call Delhi and give him a bigger responsibility. Rahul Gandhi has not yet agreed to the fact that he is ready to assume the post of Congress President again. Gehlot is also tested and trusted by the Gandhi family.
In fact, the party has to take a quick decision on a permanent president in place of Executive Chairman Sonia Gandhi. Rahul supporters have been persuading him to become president again since his resignation.
While Rahul has not yet agreed to this matter. Whoever becomes the permanent president will get the remaining time of Rahul Gandhi's term. However, after Rahul returns from abroad, his supporters are again busy preparing him to assume responsibility.
Senior leaders in the party believe that if Rahul is not ready, then it will be necessary to make someone permanent president. In such a situation, given the activism of Sonia Gandhi, either she will have to take the responsibility permanently or a senior leader has to be prepared as an alternative. Ashok Gehlot is being described as the most suitable and the better coordinator between the new elders in this name.
If sources are to be believed, Ashok Gehlot was also given such a proposal last year, but then he was not ready to step down as Chief Minister due to the intervention of some Delhi leaders. It is said that it is up to Gehlot to leave Rajasthan and come to Delhi.
Actually, Gehlot had come to Delhi as general secretary organization, but as soon as the Rajasthan elections came, he again increased his power and claimed the post of CM.
