After the BJP's decisive victory in the Rajasthan polls, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot resigned this evening during a meeting with the governor. With the BJP set to cross the majority mark of 100 seats, Gehlot conceded defeat and stepped down from his post. Earlier, he had described the Congress's poor performance as "shocking", admitting it failed to effectively communicate its governance record. Gehlot now says the party will analyze the reasons behind the election drubbing. His rival Sachin Pilot's open rebellion in 2020 caused internal rifts that are seen as significantly damaging Congress's prospects despite a later truce between the two camps.
