Ashok Gehlot apologised to Sonia Gandhi

Previously, when Ashok Gehlot visited Delhi and apologised to Sonia Gandhi for holding a parallel meeting in Jaipur on September 25, Venugopal was also present as the organization's General Secretary. "The resolution of leadership question in Rajasthan will come out in 2 to 3 days," Venugopal said as he exited 10 Janpath. But two months have passed, and the situation has become more complicated with the latest spat between Gehlot and Pilot. Meanwhile, according to sources, Pilot has been putting pressure on the party's high command. He has reportedly asked the high command to hold a secret vote of the MLAs to determine the next leader, because Gehlot has claimed that the MLAs are divided.

The government will not fall if Gehlot is removed

According to sources, Sachin went a step further and stated that the government will not fall if Gehlot is removed. Rajasthan has created a problem for the Congress party, which is only in power in two states. The second issue is that only Gehlot has taken over the Congress' election command in Gujarat, while Rahul's Bharat Jodo Yatra is about to enter Rajasthan. As a result, sources say Kharge is eager to settle the Rajasthan issue after the Gujarat elections. That is why, as an envoy of the High Command, the organization's General Secretary is currently travelling to Jaipur on November 29 to bring the situation under control.
