Govind Singh Dotasra accused Ashok Gehlot of 'individualism', raising the political heat within the party. The statement came after an event at Gehlot's residence.
State President Govind Singh Dotasra attacked 'self-branding' and 'individualism' without naming former CM Ashok Gehlot.
The controversy began when BAP workers went directly to Ashok Gehlot's bungalow instead of the party headquarters.
At Gehlot's residence, supporters chanted slogans to make 'Ashok Gehlot the Chief Minister for the fourth time', which angered Dotasra.
Ashok Gehlot later clarified that there is no bitterness between him and Dotasra, and it was merely a courtesy visit.

Internal conflict has once again surfaced in the RajasthanCongress. State Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra has launched a sharp attack on 'self-branding' and 'individualism' without naming former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, suddenly heating up the party's political atmosphere.
What is the whole issue?
This incident occurred on Thursday when senior leader from Wagad, Mahendrajit Singh Malviya, arrived in Jaipur to induct about 300 to 400 workers from the Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) into the Congress.
However, before the formal joining at the party headquarters, these workers went directly to Ashok Gehlot's residence at Civil Lines.
'Power Show' at Gehlot's Bungalow
At Gehlot's residence, he draped the Congress scarf on the workers. During this, supporters also chanted slogans like "Make Ashok Gehlot the Chief Minister for the fourth time."
Dotasra was extremely angered by this 'power show'. He warned that the party repeatedly faces defeat due to personal branding.
Dotasra's Sharp Statement
