New Delhi:

Veteran Parliamentary Leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath is likely to mediate during the crisis in Rajasthan and will meet party leader Sonia Gandhi in Delhi, sources told NDTV. Ninety-two MLAs in Rajasthan threatened to resign yesterday, saying they want Ashok Gehlot – the frontrunner for the National Speaker position of Parliament – to retain the position of Head. This possibility was dismissed by Rahul Gandhi, who said the party would follow the “One Man One Post” rule.

The MLA wants to remove Mr. Gehlot’s arch-rival Sachin Pilot and his 21 loyalists from the top job.

Ahead of the legislative party meeting yesterday, Team Gehlot met at the home of MLA Shanti Dhariwal and passed a resolution that a Minister should be chosen only from the group of 102 lawmakers who supported the government as Sachin Pilot brought it came to the brink of collapse in 2020 with its uprising.

Central observers Mallikarjuna Kharge and Ajay Maken, who were dispatched to Jaipur, tasked with resolving the crisis with one-on-one negotiations with the MLA, returned to Delhi today, unable to meet any of the dissidents. In a blatant rebellion, all of them refused to speak to the Central leaders and most went home to the districts for Navratras.

The MLA said that it would meet the Central leaders in groups and that the issue of the ministerial post would be resolved after the party’s internal elections.

The Gandhis are said to be deeply saddened by the situation and Mr Gehlot, who, reportedly, said they had blessed the party’s top job.

Mr. Nath faced a similar storm two years ago, which led to the downfall of his government in Madhya Pradesh. Jyotiraditya Scindia, one of the party’s top leaders in Madhya Pradesh who was hoping to get the top job in Madhya Pradesh joined the BJP with 22 MLAs, dragging the government down in the process.

A similar scenario played out in Punjab. Parliament lost its status to Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party in council elections shortly after Amarinder Singh quit the party, humiliated and forced to resign as Minister following a confrontation with Navjot Sidhu.
