Will Cong high-command agree to Rajasthan MLAs' conditions?

Congress' chief whip in Rajasthan Assembly Mahesh Joshi has said that the party MLAs have no objection to whoever is made the next Chief Minister adding that the high-command's decision should be agreeable to all MLAs.

"The doubts of the MLAs should be cleared by the high-command and then, whatever decision is taken will be accepted. We do not have any objection if anyone is made the chief minister but the final decision should have consensus," he told reporters in Rajasthan.

Congress observers Ajay Maken and Mallikarjun Kharge landed in the state on Sunday and met with Gehlot as well as the state Congress chief Govind Singh Dostara at a hotel on Monday. Some Congress MLAs were also spotted at the hotel.

Joshi himself, along with Shanti Dhariwal and Pratap Singh Khachariyawas, met the AICC observers on Sunday night.

Joshi said that they put three conditions in front of the observes -- a decision on the selection of the chief minister should be taken after the Congress presidential poll, the chief minister should be from among those MLAs who stood with the government during the political crisis in 2020 and not from the Pilot camp, and the AICC observers should hold meetings in groups instead of one-on-one as sought by the high-command.

On the other hand, Congress MLA Giriraj Singh Malinga said after the Gehlot loyalists resigned, the government no longer have a majority in the Assembly.

He termed a mid-term election as the best way forward.

The Pilot loyalists, meanwhile, are maintaining a silence over the developments and refraining to speak much before the media.

One of them, Khiladi Lal Bairwa, however said, "We are with the high-command. Whatever decision is taken will be accepted. This is what we had said on Sunday as well."

Asked what problem does Gehlot have with Pilot, Bairwa said, "He (Gehlot) will be able to say it better.... We are with the high-command in every decision."

The Congress in Rajasthan plunged into a crisis on Sunday as several MLAs loyal to Gehlot resigned over a possible move to appoint Sachin Pilot as Gehlot's successor, their rebellion erupting just ahead of a Congress Legislature Party meeting.
