Gehlot Recalls Offer to Become Congress President Amid Past Controversy

In fact, Gehlot's statement comes in the context of the political controversy when the Congress high command was preparing to make him the party president in September 2022. At that time, amid talks of a leadership change in Rajasthan, the Congress Legislative Party could not meet and a large number of MLAs held a parallel meeting. This development was considered indiscipline by the Congress high command. Later, Gehlot met Sonia Gandhi and apologized while taking moral responsibility. Now recalling the same development, Gehlot said that he had received an offer to be made the Congress president and was ready for it. He said that the post of Congress president is historic and prestigious, which has been held by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel. He could never turn down such a post.
