New Delhi: Haryana Congress leader Bhupinder Hooda on Friday met Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi in Delhi as more clarity is expected on candidates for the All India Congress Committee (AICC) president election. “In our meeting today, we spoke about the party and how to strengthen it. She said that she has a neutral stand regarding the Congress president election,” the former Haryana Chief Minister said, as quoted by news agency ANI. Earlier in the day, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced that he will fight the Congress President Election and will step down from the CM post if he is elected party chief.

When asked whether he has chosen his successor for the post of Rajasthan Chief Minister, Gehlot said that a decision will be reached as per the party framework. Previously, the Rajasthan Chief Minister had indicated that he could throw his hat in the ring if former president Rahul Gandhi does not agree to take on the party’s reins. Gehlot is believed to have the backing of the current leadership. However, Congress president Sonia Gandhi is said to have told both Gehlot and Tharoor that she would remain “neutral” in the polls. Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor is a probable AICC president poll candidate. Notably, former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singh on Thursday told ABP News that he does not plan to contest the party election: “I will do whatever the Congress President orders me to do. I don’t intend to (contest) yet.” EXCLUSIVE: Digvijaya Singh Confirms No Gandhi Will Contest Congress President Election In an early instance of leaders taking sides in the upcoming contest for the Congress President, Congress leader Gourav Vallabh voiced support for Ashok Gehlot. He launched a scathing attack on Shashi Tharoor over his probable candidature saying his “one major contribution” to the grand old party in eight years was to send letters to Sonia Gandhi when she was hospitalised.

भारतीय कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष पदका लागि थरूर र दिग्विजय आमुन्ने–सामुन्ने काठमाडौं- भारतीय कांग्रेसको अध्यक्ष पदका लागि शुक्रबार मनोनयन दर्ताको अन्तिम दिन रहेको छ। कांग्रेसको अध्यक्ष पदका लागि अहिलेसम्म वरिष्ठ नेता शशि थरूर र मध्य प्रदेसका पूर्वमुख्यमन्त्री दिग्विजय सिंह मनोनयन दर्ता गराइरहेका छन्। यसबाहेक कांग्रेस नेता पवन बन्सलले पनि मनोनयन पत्र लिएका छन्। यद्यपि उनले आफ्नो लागि वा अरू कुनै नेताका लागि मनोनयन फर्म लिएका प्रष्ट भएको छैन। यसअघि राजस्थानका मुख्यमन्त्री अशोक गलहोतले पनि पार्टी अध्यक्ष पदका लागि चुनाव लड्ने घोषणा गरेका थिए। तर, मुख्यमन्त्री पदलाई लिएर द्वन्द्व सुरू भएपछि गलहोत आफ्नो निर्णयबाट पछि हटेका छन्। उनले भनेका छन्,‘यस्तो माहोलमा म अध्यक्ष पदको चुनाव लड्दिनँ।’ गलहोतले बिहीबार दिल्लीमा पार्टी अध्यक्ष सोनिया गान्धीसँग भएको भेटवार्तापछि चुनाव नलड्ने घोषणा गरेका थिए। राहुल गान्धीले ‘एक जना, एक पद’ बताएपछि राजस्थानका मुख्यमन्त्री गलहोत पार्टी अध्यक्षका लागि चुनाव लड्ने आफ्नो निर्णयबाट पछि हटेको बताइएको छ। पार्टी अध्यक्ष पदका लागि चुनाव लड्दा उनले मुख्यमन्त्री पदबाट राजीनमा दिनुपर्ने हुन्थ्यो।
