DC Edit | Kharge must halt Rajasthan drift

Deccan Chronicle  

Procrastination on the part of the Congress high command appears to have got the better of the party unit in Rajasthan endangering the survival of one of the two state governments it runs in the country. Mr Gehlot’s claims that his former deputy and Pradesh Congress Committee ex-president Sachin Pilot tried to undermine his government at the behest of the BJP and that money changed hands in the process are of a very serious nature. It has been an uneasy calm in the party and the government ever since the leadership chose Mr Gehlot as chief minister following the 2018 elections over the claims of Mr Pilot, who as PCC president contributed heavily to the party’s poll performance. The young leader lost out in the turf war and was forced to quit the Cabinet despite enjoying strong support of former Congress president Rahul Gandhi. The ill-advised move by the Gandhi family to draft a reluctant Mr Gehlot as a candidate in the party’s presidential election, his withdrawal and the bad blood it created have together precipitated the present crisis.
