“I’ve made the decision to contest (for the post of Congress President). I’ll shortly set the date (to file his nomination). In light of the nation’s current situation, the opposition must be robust “Gehlot remarked.
“I have repeatedly asked Rahul Gandhi, a Congress Member, to embrace everyone’s suggestion that he accept the position of Congress President. He was adamant that no member of the Gandhi family should succeed him as chief “he added.
