Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday left the decision about his political future in the hands of the Congress High Command ahead of the November 25 Assembly election. Following the election results, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot discussed his role, saying, “My role has always been whatever the high command wants.” My role is not something I choose. I’ll stick to the role that high command assigns me.” The chief minister of Rajasthan also voiced confidence in obtaining a majority mandate in the state while defying anti-incombency sentiment.
“People have made up their mood to repeat the government in the state this time. I believe we are moving towards 156 seats. The tradition (of changing the govt in every 5 years) is going to break this time. People in the state are happy with the kind of work we have done. In Rajasthan, it is definite that the govt will be repeated,” CM Gehlot said
“If the 76-year record of Kerala can be broken during COVID times in Kerala as earlier the people of Kerala used to choose government alternatively. We have done more work after COVID, people of Rajasthan are no less intelligent than the people of Kerala; so we will repeat the government in Rajasthan. The Bhilwara model went to WHO and we were praised all over the world. There was no hunger during COVID. We worked with religious gurus, activists and NGOs. ” Ashok Gehlot said.
