Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, widely expected to be one of Congress's presidential candidate, is likely to meet Congress President Sonia Gandhi in Delhi on Wednesday, IANS reported. Gehlot is likely to talk about contesting the Congress president election with Gandhi. He is then expected to join Rahul Gandhi on the "Bharat Jodo Yatra".
Congress is likely to see a contest for the post of party chief after Shashi Tharoor on Monday received the nod from Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi to run for the post.
Party sources told ABP that Gehlot was reportedly reluctant to give up his Rajasthan role. Gehlot is hesitant to relocate to Delhi and does not want his former deputy Sachin Pilot to be elevated to the position of Chief Minister, party sources told ABP.
