Amidst this, Ashok Gehlot reached Delhi last night, and will me meeting Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, the interim chief of the Indian National Congress.
On the other hand, Rahul Gandhi continues his “Bharat Jodo Yatra”, and it’s final that he won’t be coming to Delhi. However, it’s believed that Digvijaya Singh has been sent to Delhi by Rahul Gandhi, but still, all eyes are set on the meeting of INC chief Sonia Gandhi and Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot.

Subsequently, if Gehlot moves to Delhi, Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra’s name is on the top of the list for the next CM post. If that happens, it would be a major jolt to Sachin Pilot.
