Gehlot’s schemes rekindle Congress’ hopes

Rahul Gandhi will give a strong message to rebels and rivals during Bharat Jodo Yatra in Rajasthan.

The Congress is all set to showcase the welfare schemes of the Rajasthan government during all the Assembly elections that will be held after Himachal Pradesh polls. These schemes include old pension, confirmation of ad hoc staff, free treatment, etc. But what is surprising is that the high command is unable to rein in the leaders who are making statements against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot who is the real brain behind all these schemes. The leadership's laxity may harm the party in crucial states like Congress-ruled Rajasthan which is one of the three major states which will go to polls just six months ahead of the final electoral battle of Lok Sabha. The dilly-dallying on the part of high command will cost the Congress dear in the 2024 parliamentary polls.
