Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has reached the 10 Janpath residence to meet Sonia Gandhi. Media sources said that Gehlot has refused to quit the chief minister's post before becoming the party president.
As per the sources, Mukul Wasnik had come to Gehlot with a message from the high command that he would have to announce his resignation from the post of Chief Minister before the nomination. But Gehlot refused to accept this condition, after which speculations started that the meeting of Sonia-Gehlot could be postponed, although it did not happen.
Meanwhile, it has been decided that senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh will contest for the post of Congress President. In Delhi on Thursday, he said, "I have come today to collect my nomination form (for the election of Congress President) and will probably fill it tomorrow."
