Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday expressed confidence that the Congress would take power in the state and said it was ready to ally with independents.
"The Congress is open to form a government with independent candidates," Gehlot told the media as it became clear that the Congress could fall short of the half-way mark in the 200-member Assembly by a seat or two.
Post noon, Congress candidates were leading over their rivals in 95 of the 197 constituencies, from where trends were available, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 78 others.
