The Congress has scheduled a meeting of all its MLAs in Rajasthan amid rumours that Sachin Pilot will replace Ashok Gehlot as chief minister while he transitions to the position of Congress president.

The state's top position is likely to be on the table because the party headquarters in Delhi is directly involved; senior leader Mallikarjun Kharge has been named Observer, and state in-charge Ajay Maken will attend.

Given that he has the Gandhis' support, Ashok Gehlot's election as Congress President next month is all but guaranteed. After some hesitation and resistance, he finally agreed to follow the party guideline of "one man, one post."
