Digvijay Singh met Sonia Gandhi
Digvijay Singh has reached Sonia Gandhi’s house to meet her. This Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot reached Delhi on Wednesday evening. Gehlot has to meet the interim president of the party, Sonia Gandhi. It is being told that the high command is very angry with whatever happened in Rajasthan in the past. What will be the stand of the Congress top leadership after the meeting, it will be worth seeing. Congress leader Digvijay Singh has joined the race for party president. Shashi Tharoor can also file his nomination on September 30 to contest the election of party president.
Gehlot is in Delhi too
Talking to reporters at the airport, Gehlot termed the confrontation in Rajasthan as a minor incident and said that he would work under the discipline of Sonia Gandhi. He also said in gestures that decisions will be taken according to what Sonia Gandhi wants.
He said, “I have been following the tradition of the party for 50 years. Number one is Congress President, I am watching from the time of Indira ji, I am watching from the time of Rajiv ji, Narasimha Rao or now Sonia Gandhi ji, there is always so much discipline in Congress. So today the party is in trouble, even if it comes to 44 or 55 (Lok Sabha seats) then if there is any national party in the country then only Congress party is there. Its leader is Sonia Gandhi. The Congress of the whole country is under the discipline of Sonia Gandhi.

At present, only former Union minister Shashi Tharoor has said that he will file his nomination papers on September 30. According to insiders, the party wants to save the Thiruvananthapuram MP from being the sole contender. “So Gehlot can stay there (in Rajasthan) and Digvijay Singh will gain more strength in the fight,” said a leader requesting anonymity.
