Summary:
Impressed by his poll management in the two states, the party gave him the bigger responsibility as AICC general secretary of the organisation in March this year. Congress vice-president Rajiv Arora said, “Party’s decision to field Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in the elections has boosted Congressmen’s morale. Congress will perform even better now.”On the question of Gehlot getting restricted to Rajasthan, Arora said, “The priority at present is to win in all five poll-bound states. “If Congress comes to power in Rajasthan, will the party spare Gehlot to be the CM right before the general elections for which he has been working so far? It was Gehlot who had then orchestrated the merger of all six BSP MLAs into Congress to form a government that lasted its full five-year term..
