New Delhi, Dec 15 (PTI): After selecting chief ministers of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, Congress president Rahul Gandhi held hectic parleys with top party leaders Saturday to decide on the top post for Chhattisgarh.

Sources said Gandhi met Chhattisgarh's four potential chief minister candidates -- T S Singh Deo, Tamradhwaj Sahu, Bhupesh Baghel and Charan Das Mahant -- at his Tughlaq Lane residence and held discussions with them.

This is the third round of discussion that the Congress chief is holding before selecting the chief minister for Chhattisgarh, where the party romped home to power after 15 years with two-third majority.

Congress' central observer Mallikarjun Kharge and AICC in-charge for party affairs in Chhattisgarh P L Punia were also present at the meeting.

The sources said UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were also present at the Congress chief's residence.

They said that a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) is slated to be held at 4.00 pm in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.

However, it was not clear whether the announcement would be made in the national capital or in Raipur.

The Congress Friday named Ashok Gehlot Rajasthan's next chief minister after several rounds of discussions lasting more than two days. In Madhya Pradesh, Congress leader Kamal Nath was made chief minister-designate on December 13.

    in my opinion, Gehlot and Kamal Nath should have stayed back and proposed Pilot and Scindia's names for CMs post. They would have gained utmost respect from the people of the state. For Congress, the young leaders would have given the boost for the future; India would have watched them with interest. Even the feeling of corruption that the party had been carrying for long, would have disappeared - both these young leaders have worked tirelessly in Rajasthan and MP.

    Rahul will not allow the young leaders to rise.
    he is scared that ,if they become popular, they are threat to his position.
    all this democracy talk is only for the others.

    Rahul has done right thing. He has selected senior leaders for CM post . And he should have taken steps to select Scindhia as Dy CM. In Rajasthan the step taken is correct. These young leaders will get good experience in next five years.

    So much for States' self government. It is time for parties which have won the election to decide for themselves who should be the governing body to rule for the entire mandate, not be directed or dictated by the centrist leaders be they Congress or BJP or any other stripe; otherwise, they will toe the line of the party at the Centre which governs the country. This smacks of a central government not a Union government, which is against the spirit of the Constitution.

    Only post where consulations are not done is for the Congress president position.
    That position is a hereditary one. No discussions allowed on that.

    Were there consultations when BJP party president was appointed? It was a direct order from Nagpur.

    You should not comment on the things you do not have knowledge on.
    Congress president is always from one family. why?
    a few minor exceptions has happenned.
    Why is that the for the majority of years after 1947, the president has been only from the family?
    Can you tell who will be the next president of BJP? You cannot.
    But you can definitely predict the president of the congress.
