I'm never far from Rajasthan: Gehlot asserts his claim to chief ministership
Ashok Gehlot
'Rajasthan is not far away from Delhi. I want to say that misinformation about this should not be spread. Till my last breath, I will work for the people of Rajasthan,' Gehlot said
Recently appointed General Secretary in-charge of Organisation by Rahul Gandhi, Ashok Gehlot has said he is not removed from the people of Rajasthan.
Speaking to the press today, Gehlot said he has got alot of love and respect from Rajasthan and that he will continue to work for the state and its people.
"Sometimes I'm dispatched to Rajya Sabha and sometimes people say that I have been sent to Delhi. Rajasthan is not far away from Delhi. I want to say that misinformation about this should not be spread. Till my last breath, I will work for the people of Rajasthan,"Gehlot said.
He added that juniors must work in tandem with seniors and that they must aim to outshine the work done by the party's seniors.
As of now, Rahul Gandhi has not yet declared Sachin Pilot as the Congress' chief ministerial candidate for Rajasthan but with Gehlot moving to Delhi after Gujarat(he was General Secretary in charge of the state), the signal being sent is that road has been cleared for Pilot who is the organisational head of the Congress in the state.

Gehlot replaced longstanding Congress General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi and has been tasked with reviving the organisation. Gehlot has suggested some changes which seem to have been approved by the Congress leadership.
It has been decided that booth-level committees would be formed at the earliest and a data bank of the committees be created so that the central leadership can access the backgrounds of people working at the ground level.
It has also been decided that special attention would be given to backward castes, women, and minorities when it comes to representation within the organisation. Special attention would also be paid to monitoring the programmes of the Congress Party and they willbe reviewed by dedicated teams. Gehlot has also suggested that training programmes should be vigorously implemented and their schedule be properly maintained.
It has also been decided that 40 per cent of "existing faces" will be kept in the organisation, while "new faces"will be introduced in 60 per cent of posts. There were be a special focus on accountability, so that those who have worked for the party are rewarded and those who have not are removed from important positions.
