Just as it seemed that Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot was getting chummy with the Congress party’s higher-ups, things took quite a turn on Sunday when a group of nearly 90 MLAs in the state resigned in a show of solidarity with Gehlot.
Gehlot is reportedly contesting for the post of party president in the upcoming election. Should he win, he will no longer remain the chief minister. There's a prospect of Sachin Pilot becoming the chief minister and this seemingly does not sit well with the MLAs who support Gehlot. Pilot had rebelled against Gehlot’s leadership in 2020.
