In Rajasthan, known for voting out the incumbent since 1993, Ashok Gehlot, a three-time Chief Minister, appears completely confident of a second consecutive term
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is currently perhaps the sole Congress leader who dared to take on the party's Central leadership and got away with it, solely on the basis of his support within the state party. At the age of 72, he is heard baiting his political rival Sachin Pilot with comments on how the top job would not leave him.
