After joining the race for the post of Congress President, Ashok Gehlot called a meeting of Congress MLAs

After joining the race for the post of Congress President, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has called a meeting of Congress MLAs late night. It is known that the nomination for the post of Congress President will start from Thursday. It is likely that senior party leader Shashi Tharoor will file nomination for this post. It is believed that Shashi Tharoor has got no objection from Congress President Sonia Gandhi in this regard.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, on the other hand, is being seen as his rival for the post, but he is reportedly not ready to step down as the chief minister for the time being. Sources close to Ashok Gehlot say that he may file his nomination papers for the October 17 elections next Monday, but he is still hoping to accept Rahul Gandhi for his return as party chief.

Sources say that Rahul Gandhi is the first choice of Chief Minister Gehlot for the top post of the party. Sources say that he is trying to "convince Rahul Gandhi to contest the elections" before filing his nomination.
