The remarks, apparently made in a lighter note, are significant against the backdrop of the tussle within Rajasthan Congress between the camps led by Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot
Taking a veiled swipe at his arch-rival Sachin Pilot, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today said he wants to leave the Chief Minister post, but the "post doesn't let me go".
Addressing the media in Delhi, Mr Gehlot said a woman supporter once told him that she wants him to become the Chief Minister for the fourth time. "I told her that I want to leave the Chief Minister's post but this post is not letting me go," Mr Gehlot said.
The remarks, apparently made in a lighter note, are significant against the backdrop of the tussle within Rajasthan Congress between the camps led by Mr Gehlot and Mr Pilot, his former deputy. A mutiny led by Mr Pilot had almost brought down the Congress government in 2020 before the high command managed to save the day.
