Rajasthan Crisis Congress

The Congress in Rajasthan has suffered a major setback after nearly 400 party workers resigned from its primary membership on Friday, leaving the party in crisis, said party sources.

The Congress on Sunday released its second list of 43 candidates for the November 25 Rajasthan assembly elections, fielding former chief secretary Niranjan Arya from the Sojat (SC) seat.

A solution to the Rajasthan crisis is Work In Progress for the Congress leadership. Will Gehlot's injured toe prove to be the Achilles Heel for Kharge's assertiveness or will the party leadership have its way?

Days after the Congress leadership projected that the tussle in its Rajasthan unit was on hold, Sachin Pilot on Wednesday made it clear that he will not budge on his demands from the Ashok Gehlot government.

Unlike in the days when stalwarts dominated the Congress, today the party has a fair sprinkling of dwarfs who are tasked with crisis management. And their performance is dismal.

In a veiled attack on his former deputy Sachin Pilot, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today said that those who create factions ("Thari-Mhari karte hai") can never become successful and never be loyal to the party.

Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasara on Friday downplayed the ongoing tussle between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former deputy Sachin Pilot, saying "we are all united".

Involved in a land dispute with a hotel owner, the man hanged himself this week after recording a video message in which he blamed a Congress minister and some other people for pressuring him to vacate his property.

With Congress leader Sachin Pilot levelling corruption allegations against her, former chief minister Vasundhara Raje has talked about standing like a rock during critical situations.

How the Congress tackles this crisis remains to be seen. Satisfying the ambition and ego of both leaders is not going to be easy. After the Punjab episode, new president Kharge will want to weigh every option.

Sachi Pilot protest live updates: Sachin Pilot's fast to press his party-led government in Rajasthan for action against graft drew a stern warning from the Congress, who said any such action on his part would amount to anti-party activity.

The 81 MLAs who had submitted resignation letters to Rajasthan assembly speaker CP Joshi during the last September crisis have withdrawn them, the assembly secretary told the high court on Monday.

Despite a presumed reconiciliatory meeting between chief minister Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, there seems to no sign of a "full stop" to the feud between the Rajasthan Chief Minister and his former deputy.

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday said the party leadership will come up with a way to resolve the infighting in its Rajasthan unit while keeping the party above individuals.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has launched an all-out attack against arch rival Sachin Pilot. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, he took time out from campaigning with Rahul Gandhi in Gujarat to deliver his biggest takedown yet of Mr Pilot
