Congress is trying to break this tradition in Rajasthan, but for that the party will have to put its house in order.
Will Gehlot become the CM and Pilot the state president once again?
Congress has lost two assembly elections when Gehlot was the CM. Veteran Ashok Gehlot wants to remove this big stain on himself next year, but a section in the Congress feels that only a young face like Sachin Pilot can change the custom of changing the government after five years in Rajasthan. Pilot also has an idea that if not now then maybe never, but the fear of mobilizing other castes against the Gujar community Sachin Pilot comes from is also haunting the Congress. To strike a balance, it can be decided to make Pilot the state president again along with CM Gehlot. However, this can increase complexity.
Congress will lose from Rajasthan due to one mistake
Jat leader Harish Chaudhary’s Channi-like lottery can be played in this quarrel, but the latest example of how risky it can be is in front in the form of Punjab. If the Congress government comes to power in Himachal Pradesh, then the party can take the risk of experimenting in Rajasthan.
