In a Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting following the Lok Sabha election results, Rahul Gandhi had lashed out senior Congress leaders Kamal Nath, Ashok Gehlot and P Chidambaram for putting their sons above the party.
Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister of the state, made the announcement while addressing the 25th state-level Bhamashah Samman Samaroh at the Birla Auditorium at Jaipur.
In his suicide note, Sohan Lal named Gehlot and Pilot, alleging that he was forced to take the drastic step as the Congress government in Rajasthan did not keep its promise of waiving off bank loans to farmers.
According to a report in Navbharat Times, Congress seems to have made up its mind to let Rahul Gandhi step down and hand over the reins of the working of the party to Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
