NEW DELHI: After meeting Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday, Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot announced that he would not contest the election for the party chief’s post. After having lost the trust of the organisation’s high command, it is also likely that he may have to wash his hands off the CM’s post.
After meeting Sonia, Gehlot told mediapersons that he apologised to her for the developments that took place in Jaipur on Sunday where MLAs loyal to him defied the central observers and refused to attend the meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP).
