The reverberation of political developments in Karnataka and Goa was felt in Rajasthan on Friday with the BJP leaders claiming that the Congress government in the state was teetering on the edge.
Addressing the media on the assembly premises, BJP MLA Vasudev Devnani said that after the resignation of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Congress MLAs were feeling apprehensive.
He said Gehlot was feeling insecure and so he was making statements that the people across the state wanted him to be the chief minister. “If the people from each village and hamlet wanted Gehlot to be CM, then why would he lose from his own booth?” asked Devnani.
Gehlot had told media that he deserved to be CM as after the assembly elections; people had wanted only him and no one else to be chief minister. There has been speculation that Gehlot is in contention for the post of Congress national president after Rahul Gandhi’s resignation. Gehlot however has made it obvious that he is reluctant to go.
