(PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan)The Rajasthan Congress Saturday unanimously came out in favour of elevating Rahul Gandhi as party president, with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot — earlier seen as a potential candidate for the post — expressing his support for such a move.
The show of support for Rahul came at a Pradesh Congress Committee meeting on Saturday.
Congress spokesperson Swarnim Chaturvedi told The Indian Express: “Officially, one resolution has been passed today that we all unanimously authorise the national president of the Congress to take all decisions related to state Congress president and AICC delegates who will vote in the party election.”
He added: “After the resolution was passed and the pradesh returning officer had left, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that it is his desire that Rahul Gandhi becomes the Congress president and asked the delegates what they want. After this, everyone supported Gehlot with a show of hands.”
Rajasthan Food and Civil Supplies Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas told reporters after the meeting that the move in favour of Rahul was a resolution.
