Ashok Gehlot announces run for Congress president, says Sonia Gandhi will pick his successor

The Hindu  

The debate on ‘one man, one post’ is unnecessary, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said on Friday as he formally announced his candidature for the Congress presidential election since “nobody from the Gandhi family is contesting”. Mr. Gehlot said the decision on finding his successor to head the Rajasthan government would be taken by party president Sonia Gandhi and Congress’ Rajasthan in-charge Ajay Maken. If the media is to be believed, I do not want to relinquish the post of Chief Minister,” Mr. Gehlot said, adding “But for sure, I have said this even today and will maintain this even after I fill the nomination form that I belong to Rajasthan. Media interprets it.” Earlier in the day, while speaking to reporters at the Kochi airport after participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Mr. Gehlot made it official that he had joined the fray since Rahul Gandhi made it clear to him that “none from the Gandhi family will be contesting”.
