"The prime minister has to start his speech after targeting Rahul Gandhi, you can understand what this means," Mr. Gehlot said.
The chorus for making Rahul Gandhi Congress president again grew louder on Sunday as several leaders and workers voiced support for him to take on the mantle of party chief.
Ahead of a crucial Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said no one was taking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi as Mr. Gandhi does and was fighting resolutely.
"The prime minister has to start his speech after targeting Rahul Gandhi, you can understand what this means," Mr. Gehlot said.
He accused the BJP of winning the recent round of assembly polls by indulging in polarisation. However, he accepted that the Congress lost in Punjab due to infighting.
Karnataka Congress president D.K. Shivakumar also backed the idea to make Mr. Gandhi the party chief.
"As I have said it earlier as well, Sh. Rahul Gandhi should take up the Congress presidency in a full time role immediately. This is the wish of millions of Congress workers like me," he tweeted.
