Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot in Kanyakumari on the occasion of the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra has backed Rahul Gandhi’s return to the top post. “Congress leaders and workers want Rahul Gandhi to become party chief; this will strengthen the party. It will be easier to deal with big challenges facing the country if Rahul Gandhi becomes Congress president,” Gehlot said.
Gehlot is said to be one of the front- runners for the Congress president post .
Speaking about the march for unity, Gehlot said, that if hate was not controlled, hate spread in the name of caste and religion can head towards civil war.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday paid floral tributes to his father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at the latter’s memorial in Sriperumbudur , ahead of the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
“We have been requesting Prime Minister Narendra Modi that you should appeal that there should be love, brotherhood and harmony among people and violence will not be tolerated. He has not done so till now,” Gehlot said.
