Since neither Gehlot nor Pilot has been appointed as the chairman of the committee. It’s because the social gathering’s high management is leaning in direction of constructing a consensus to chalk out a technique for the elections and choose candidates for key seats. However extra leaders of Gehlot’s social gathering have been included in the election committee.
