The Congress Legislature Party was to meet in the presence of two central observers for the announcement that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will run for Congress president and someone will take over in his place.
A meeting to pass a "one-line resolution" spiraled into a level-five crisis for the Congress within hours on Sunday evening. All it reportedly took was a phone call informing Congress MLAs about a "change of venue".
The Congress Legislature Party was to meet in the presence of two central observers (Ajay Maken and Mallikarjun Kharge), for the announcement that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will run for Congress president and someone will take over in his place. Reports that Mr Gehlot's rival Sachin Pilot, who revolted against him in 2020, could be the new Chief Minister set off an entirely different set of evens.
The meeting was scheduled at 7 pm on at the Chief Minister's house.
