Rajasthan Congress

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who had submitted resignation letters to Rajasthan assembly speaker CP Joshi during the last September crisis have withdrawn them, the assembly secretary told the high court on Monday.

Gujjars, who constitute around 9 to twelve percent of the population and are significant in 40 to 50 assembly seats in eastern Rajasthan, are a critical vote bank for both the Congress and the BJP.

In an apparent rebuttal to his former deputy, Sachin Pilot, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday said the Congress returned to power in 2018 because of the work done by him in his previous dispensation.

The former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan Sachin Pilot on Monday said that Rahul Gandhi set an example by resigning as the Congress president after defeat in the 2019 Lok Sabha election.

The rancour between the Congress's two top leaders in Rajasthan is deepening in an election year. In a video that is viral, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot appears to refer to Sachin Pilot as the coronavirus.

Firing yet another salvo at Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, his former deputy on Thursday asked why action has not been taken in the last four years on allegations levelled collectively by the Congress against BJP leader Vasundhara Raje.

Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Wednesday again attacked the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan on exam paper leaks even as his supporters, including a minister, pitched for his appointment as the chief minister.

Responding to Congress leader Sachin Pilot's remark that action should be taken against the "big sharks" behind paper leaks in Rajasthan, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday said his government's actions in those cases were aimed at the kingpins.

Congress leader Sachin Pilot, on a solo campaign in Rajasthan ahead of polls later this year, appeared to confirm his party's fears by taking aim at his own government and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.

Sachin Pilot's plan for rallies across Rajasthan has alarmed the Congress as it stares at an unresolved leadership tussle ahead of elections.

Congress's Sachin Pilot -- credited with a big role in the party's victory in Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh through ground-level election work -- will begin the election year in Rajasthan with an elaborate mass contact programme.

A Rajasthan Congress MLA's son was arrested on Monday for allegedly raping a minor girl, police said.

Congress' Rajasthan in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Sunday said that the ministers who fail to perform and participate in the party's programme will not be issued ticket in the 2023 assembly elections.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has said if it were in his hands, he would have come up with severe punishments for rapists and gangsters to set a strict precedent.

The year 2023 is expected to set the tone for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. As many as nine states are expected to vote in 2023, with the stakes very high for the ruling BJP and the principal Opposition Congress.
