MLAs refused to talk
More than 80 MLAs of Rajasthan Congress have spoken of not meeting the observers sent by the high command Mallikarjun Kharge and Ajay Maken. Till late Sunday night, minister Shanti Dhariwal, who was leading the Kharge-Maken rebel faction, met four people including Pratap Singh Khachariawas, but things did not work out.
Congress had called an official meeting at CM House, but more than 80 MLAs reached Shanti Dhariwal’s residence.
According to sources, Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi is angry with the political upheaval that has started in Rajasthan. Sonia had asked Ajay Maken to come up with a proposal in any case late at night, after which the MLAs put 3 conditions, which the high command has refused to accept.

The Gehlot faction says that the new CM should be from among the 102 MLAs who saved the government, that is, Sachin Pilot should not be made the CM.

Congress Working Committee (CWC) member and Bharat Jodo traveler Ajay Kumar Lallu said that we kept watching the developments of Rajasthan on our phones till late night. He said that all this happens where there is democracy, where there is no democracy, only two people will decide everything.
What does the Congress High Command want in Rajasthan?
- According to sources, the Congress High Command asked Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to file the form of the National President and we are in favor of giving the CM’s chair to Sachin Pilot.
- The high command also told Gehlot that you should resign before filing the form, so that we can choose the new CM. If the election is to be held next year, then the new Chief Minister will get a chance to work for about one year.
- According to sources, the Congress high command made it clear that the Punjab model will not be repeated in Rajasthan. The party also gave arguments for Channi to lose the assembly elections behind this.
High command also upset with Gehlot, 2 reasons…
1. How did the message leak, how did Gehlot’s close friends come to know?
According to sources, the high command wanted to pass a one-line proposal that Sonia Gandhi should decide the CM. Only two leaders coming from Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot, were informed about this, but before the meeting, all the MLAs started gathering at Shanti Dhariwal, a minister close to Ashok Gehlot. The high command is angry about this, after all, how did these MLAs get to know about the strategy of the high command before the meeting?
2. All MLAs of Gehlot faction, why not do damage control immediately?
Most of the MLAs who resigned after boycotting the meeting organized by the Observers belong to the Gehlot faction. The high command is angry that when these MLAs took a rebellious stand, why did Gehlot not do damage control? Eventually the meeting had to be cancelled.
On September 19, before leaving for Delhi, Ashok Gehlot met Minister Shanti Dhariwal at his bungalow. The picture is taken from his Twitter account.
Now what next?
President’s election will be affected, eyes on Gehlot-Sonia meeting
Ashok Gehlot is preparing to fill the form for the post of President on 28 September. In such a situation, the political upheaval of Rajasthan is sure to have an impact on the election of the President. Earlier, Gehlot’s claim was getting backdoor support from the Gandhi family, but after the Rajasthan dispute, there is a possibility of it being churned again.
However, all eyes are on the next meeting of Gehlot and Sonia Gandhi. After getting the Observer’s report, Sonia can call Ashok Gehlot to Delhi again. Sources say that if Gehlot refuses to handle the Rajasthan Crisis in the meeting, then a new strategy can be prepared regarding the new president.
High command can bow before numbers, CM’s decision can be decided by voting
After receiving the observers’ report, the high command can bow to the strength of the legislators and select the chief minister through voting. If this happens, then the observers can be sent again to Jaipur.
