All eyes are set on the Gujarat assembly polls. While BJP hopes to repeat history Congress is all set to create history. The Congress scion Rahul Gandhi has taken charge of mission Gujarat and his aide for the task is the former chief minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot. Gehlot is an expert of strategy His inherent abilities have created a situation where he is now the eyes and ears of the Congress. Close interactions have changed equations with Rahul Gandhi and Gehlot is all set to write a new political plot in Gujarat.

Guj responsibility for Gehlot

The Congress experience with Madhusudan Mistry for the last assembly elections could not deliver what the Congress desired. For over a year the war room set up at 10 Janpath and Rakabganj Road in Delhi was witness to serious deliberations about who should be sent to the land of the Mahatma to bring desired results for the party. After serious consideration the choice was Ashok Gehlot, who is also called the Gandhi of Marwar. Gehlot is a committed Congressman and enjoys the trust of Sonia, Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi. He too accepted Gujarat responsibility as a challenge.
