The pro-Gehlot MLAs from the tribal area openly advocated for him as the CM for the fourth time during the second day of the Congress feedback meeting.

Nagraj Meena, Congress MLA from Dhariawad, asked why the high command should consider someone else “when Gehlot is doing a great job”.

Another MLA from Pratapgarh, Ramlal Meena, said, “We will be able to make Gehlot the chief minister for the fourth time.”

Independent MLA from Kushalgarh supporting Congress, Ramila Khadia, said, “I am with Ashok Gehlot and will remain so.”

“I am with the Congress party and the high command,” state Youth Congress president and MLA Ganesh Ghoghra said, adding that he too will support Gehlot as the CM “has brought so many schemes”.
