Rajasthan Political Crisis: Uncertainty Persists As Party Leadership Issues Notice To Gehlot Loyalists

Amid the ongoing tussle that erupted due to the possible power shift in Rajasthan, the Congress leadership on Tuesday issued show cause notices to CM Ashok Gehlot's three loyalists for the charge of "grave indiscipline". With this notice, the party asked for a written reply within ten days. However, the party has not said anything against Mr Gehlot. Party's no action against Mr Gehlot keeps the possibility of Mr Gehlot's candidature for the party's presidential election open. But, Mr Gehlot himself didn't make any comments on whether he would file his nomination or not.  According to sources, the recent events allowed the Gandhi family to look up a "Plan B" for the upcoming presidential polls. As the sources mentioned that the Plan B of the Gandhi family for the upcoming presidential polls involve the names of leaders like Digvijay Singh and the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge. The growing rift inside the Congress party has created a new dilemma for the Gandhi family as only three days remain for the nomination process, and as of now, only Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and Congress party treasurer Pawan Bansal have collected nomination forms. https://twitter.com/the_hindu/status/1574828591891845137
