As the fast-paced political developments unfolds all through the day, one thing is clear that the gap between AICC and Ashok Gehlot camp has widened as both are practically standing on opposition poles. The day-long development suggests that Gehlot highly unlikely will contest the presidential poll, so chances of him moving to Delhi is very less. Majority of the MLAs are with Gehlot, for sure. They want Gehlot to remain the Chief Minister as he is not going to be the party President now.
The MLAs also want the party goes to next assembly elections under Gehlot’s leadership only.
Sachin Pilot, another protagonist in the state politics, is not going to a choice for Chief Minister considering the latest state of affairs. Sources said Sachin does not have more than 10-12 MLAs while Gehlot has openly flexed muscle with more than 90 MLAs. Caste equation is also not in favour of Sachin. So, Sachin’s political fortune is not going to be majorly affected with the latest ups and downs.
AICC is in a real mess and surely groping in the dark. It does not have guts to go against Gehlot completely despite a sort of rebellion by his follower-MLAs. The party bigwigs in Delhi know it cannot tamper much with Rajasthan and Gehlot although the situation that has been unfolding since Sunday has put the party on the mat. The party is embarrassed, but it has little option left to go against Gehlot completely.
