In a series of tweets, Gehlot added that Congress has faced a number of crises, including those of 1969, 1977, 1989 and 1996, but that it has emerged with increasing force due to its ideology, programs, policies and firm belief in your leadership.

But each time the rank and file of the Congress Party has shown firm and undivided faith in the leadership of the party and that is why we come out of it stronger and more united after each crisis. Even today, Congress is the only party that can hold this nation together and take it forward on the path of integral development, ”he said.
In an interview with The Indian ExpressSibal had said: “The people of the country, not only in Bihar but wherever by-elections are held, obviously do not see Congress as an effective alternative.” He went on to say that he has not heard anything from the party leadership about his performance in the Bihar polls. “I have not heard the leaders tell me anything. Then I do not know. I only hear voices surrounding the leadership. That’s all I know. We have yet to hear from the Congress party their views on our recent performance in Bihar and in the by-elections. Maybe they think that everything is fine and that I should continue as usual “
When asked if there has been any communication after he and 22 other senior leaders wrote to the president of Congress in August, giving a list of suggestions, he said there has been no dialogue. “As there has been no dialogue and there seems to be no effort for dialogue on the part of the leaders and as there is no forum to express my views, I am forced to express them publicly. I am a congressman and I will continue to be a congressman and I hope and pray that Congress provides the alternative to a power structure that has subverted all the values that the nation defends, ”he said.
