The effect of the discord and tussle of the Congress in the neighboring state of Punjab is now visible on the political equation of Rajasthan. The discord in Punjab has now once again stalled the changes in the government and organization in Rajasthan for some time. Now only after the Punjab dispute is resolved, there is a possibility of a decision on the cabinet reshuffle in the Congress Leadership Rajasthan and the appointments of the organization.
In Rajasthan, there was a possibility of a cabinet reshuffle in the second week of October, but now this date will go ahead. After Punjab, the Congress high command was about to give a green signal to the change in the power organization in Rajasthan. Now the political situation has changed in just two days. Controversy has started again in Chhattisgarh with Punjab. Instead of making any immediate changes in the current situation, the Congress high command will first wait for the resolution of the dispute in these two states.
Congress has prepared three formulas for changes in Rajasthan. The first formula is to form a fresh cabinet by taking resignations from all the ministers. The second formula is to reshuffle the cabinet by removing the non-performing ministers and the third is to fill only the vacant seats. Now in the changed situation, like Punjab, the hope of a bold decision is over.
After the removal of Captain Amarinder in Punjab, the condition of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was considered weak. Now after the resignation of Navjot Singh Sidhu, Gehlot has automatically come into a strong position without doing anything.
Looking at the situation in Punjab, now by putting pressure on Ashok Gehlot, So one can go on the strategy of avoiding the option of getting the change done. Congress has only three states left. However, In such a situation, the party leadership cannot take the risk of repeating the developments in Punjab. However, there is a big difference in the situation of Rajasthan and Punjab.
The latest developments in Punjab have politically affected the Sachin Pilot camp in Rajasthan. However, the pilot camp was demanding appointments in the organization and government along with an early cabinet reshuffle. For a year, the pilot camp has been raising the demand for a solution to its issues. Changes were likely in October, but developments in Punjab have changed the priorities of the high command for once.
Apart from the pilot camp MLAs, six MLAs who joined the Congress from the BSP are also disappointed over not being made ministers. Four out of six BSP MLAs have openly expressed dissatisfaction and displeasure. Four BSP MLAs have reached Delhi, they will try to create pressure by meeting senior leaders here.
The anti-Sachin Pilot camp in Congress wants government and organization changes to be delayed. So the strategy of the opposition camp is to prevent the leaders of the pilot camp from giving posts. Now there is a possibility of some delay in view of the political situation. Congress experts believe that the more delayed cabinet reshuffle causes more political damage than benefits.
