Rajasthan cabinet minister Shanti Dhariwal on Monday lashed out at Congress state in-charge Ajay Maken alleging that he was part of a conspiracy to remove Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
Congress leader Sachin Pilot has denied media reports stating that he told the party high command that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot should not remain in office if he decides to contest the party presidential poll.
Nomination forms for the post of Congress president poll have been collected by Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor and AICC treasurer Pawan Bansal, but Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has not done so yet, the party s central election authority chairman Madhusudan Mistry said on Tuesday.
