Jaipur: Rajasthan PCC President Dr Chandrabhan on Monday said Jats would be happy if a candidate from their community becomes the next chief minister of the state.
"If a Jat candidate is made next CM, it will surely be a matter of pleasure for the community," he told reporters at PCC.
However, the president, who is Jat, said he was not in the race of the chief ministerial position.
"I am not in the race of this position," he said.
Selection of a candidate for chief ministerial position is made by Congress Legislative Party and approved by the party high command, he said.
The party's focus is on the assembly polls due next year, he said.
"We are making efforts for ensuring victory in the next assembly elections too," he said.
