Former madhya pradesh chief minister kamal nath reached delhi after being summoned by the High Command. He will meet sonia Gandhi. There are indications that kamal nath will mediate in the rajasthan crisis. It is also reported that if ashok gehlot is not made the presidential election candidate, kamal nath will be the candidate instead. Ashok Gehlot was appointed as the official candidate of the High Command in the presidential election. sonia gandhi directly asked Gehlot to become the chairman. Preparations for the submission of nomination papers were also completed. But senior leaders also took a stand that Gehlot, who cannot control the MLAs of the state, is not fit for the post of president.
When Gehlot became president, the political crisis in rajasthan arose during the process of choosing a replacement chief minister. The ashok gehlot MLAs were taking a stand that they would not accept Sachin Pilot, who was suggested by the gandhi family as the Chief Minister. In a dramatic move challenging the decision, 92 MLAs threatened to resign. The inability of Gehlot to control the excessive protest of the MLAs angered the High Command. When a section of congress leaders came forward with allegations that ashok gehlot insulted the party at a crucial stage, the high command is thinking of excluding him from the presidential election.
