Rahul Gandhi praised the Ashok Gehlot government’s welfare schemes but disagreed with Gehlot’s argument that BJP polarised the Rajasthan elections. He said Congress failed to communicate the state’s path-breaking welfare schemes to voters. Many Congress leaders believed dropping senior leaders and MLAs would have given the party a better chance. Rahul and Gehlot had arguments over replacing MLAs, but Gehlot prevailed in retaining most of them. Changes in the state organization may be considered.
