The Congress leadership is angry with the Chief Ministers in both the states disregarding the decisions of the Congress leadership.

Congress in charge of Rajasthan Ajay Maken had said on Thursday that the roadmap is ready for cabinet expansion and organizational reshuffle in the state. . He said this in a press conference on Thursday.
The Congress leader said that Gehlot is still unwell and doing his work from home and as soon as he recovers, cabinet expansion and organizational reshuffle will be done. When asked about Sachin Pilot, he said that at the state level we are discussing all the issues, but if anything is given at the AICC level then it is beyond my scope.
Similarly, supporters of TS Singhdev in Chhattisgarh are insisting on changing the chief minister after the completion of two and a half years in power of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The issue of the rotational chief minister remains a mystery as there is no clarity on it from the top leadership. Emphasizing the rotational chief minister’s formula, Singhdeo has said that everything is within the purview of the party leadership and whatever decision is taken will be accepted.
