Kharge with Gehlot

Congress observers returned to Delhi on Monday to give their feedback about political developments in Rajasthan to the party high command, after a failure to hold a meeting of the legislature party to decide on Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's successor.

The Congress had appointed its senior leader Mallikarjun Kharge and Rajasthan incharge Ajay Maken as observers for the CLP meeting, which was scheduled on Sunday evening but was cancelled after MLAs loyal to Gehlot chose to skip it and met separately.

The two leaders headed for a meeting with Sonia Gandhi soon after arriving in the national capital.

Earlier, Gehlot met Kharge at a hotel in Jaipur before they left for Delhi, sources said.

"He (Gehlot) had come. It was a courtesy call. Nothing else. I am going to Delhi. So, before that, I had called him. He said he will come to meet. We will apprise about the situation to the party president then whatever will be the decision that everyone has to accept," Kharge told reporters after meeting Gehlot.

He further said, "Party should have discipline and party should also be strengthened and the party should also be united. For this, whatever strategy Congress president will make, everyone will have to accept."'
