NEW DELHI: Instability has come back to haunt the Congress in Rajasthan after two years. The Congress leadership’s move to replace Amarinder Singh with Charanjit Singh Channi in September last year as the Punjab CM a few months before the state poll had cost it dear. Its similar bid to change the chief minister of Rajasthan not just poses a threat to the Ashok Gehlot government but is also likely to harm the party’s prospects in the 2023 assembly election.
Though the reasons for changing the chief minister in Rajasthan and Punjab may be entirely different, the way in which political developments are unfolding may end up damaging the Congress’s chances of winning next year’s election.
