Jaipur,
Sep
25:
Rajasthan
Chief
Minister
Ashok
Gehlot
on
Sunday
hinted
at
the
change
in
leadership,
saying
that
the
new
generation
should
get
the
opportunity
to
lead.

He
said
that
he
has
occupied
posts
for
over
four
decades
and
the
new
generation
should
get
a
chance
now.
Thus
admitting
an
imminent
change
of
guard
in
the
state
and
an
indication
that
Congress
may
choose
Sachin
Pilot
as
his
successor
in
the
state.

“I
have
said
it
earlier
as
well.
No
post
is
important
to
me.
I
am
doing
politics
for
last
50
years.
I
have
remained
on
some
constitutional
post
or
other
for
40
years.
What
more
I
can
get
and
want.
So,
it
is
in
my
mind
that
the
new
generation
should
get
a
chance
and
we
all
will
together
give
a
leadership
in
the
country,”
PTI
quoted
Gehlot
as
stating
in
Jaisalmer.

He
had
informed
the
high
command
in
August
that
the
next
assembly
election
should
be
fought
under
a
leadership
in
order
to
increase
the
the
possibility
of
winning.
“I
have
said
this
to
(the
party)
high
command
in
August
itself
that
the
next
election
should
be
fought
under
a
leadership
so
that
the
possibility
of
winning
increases.
Whether
it
is
me
or
someone
other
than
me,
select
him
and
form
the
government,”
he
said.

He
said
that
he
had
informed
the
Congress
high
command
that
winning
the
next
election
is
very
important
as
Rajasthan
is
the
only
big
state
ruled
by
the
Congress
now.
If
the
Congress
wins
in
Rajasthan
then
the
party
will
revive
and
the
party
will
win
in
other
states
also,
he
said.

Sachin
Pilot
was
the
frontrunner
for
the
CM
post
in
2018
after
the
Congress
emerged
victorious
in
the
elections.
However,
the
party
leadership
preferred
Ashok
Gehlot.

In
2020,
he
rebelled
against
Gehlot
with
18
MLAs
and
the
one-month
political
crisis
ended
after
Rahul
Gandhi
and
Priyanka
Gandhi’s
intervention.
