Breaking: All ministers in Congress Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s cabinet hand in resignations in view of a rejig.
Ashok Gehlot’s cabinet hand in resignations in view of a rejig and they will reach state party headquarters tomorrow at 2 pm, after which a decision will be made on the new Cabinet inductees.
Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot, has been demanding a Cabinet reshuffle and political appointments for a long time. Both Mr. Pilot and Mr. Gehlot had separately met Ms. Gandhi in New Delhi last week to discuss the issue. Mr. Gehlot later indicated that the reshuffle would be carried out soon.
While a few independent MLAs may be accommodated in the Cabinet, the induction of the legislators loyal to Mr. Pilot is going to be a challenging task for the party high command. With a truce likely to be reached between the two camps, the exercise for Cabinet reshuffle will lay emphasis on striking a balance between the supporters of Mr. Gehlot and Mr. Pilot in a bid to end the rivalry between them.
