The Rajasthan Congress once again fell into a crisis after over 90 of its MLAs loyal to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot threatened to quit. The rebel MLAs demand either Gehlot, who is set to contest the Congress presidential elections, or his pick to be the Chief Minister of the state. Reports claimed the Congress top brass want former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot to replace Gehlot if the latter is elected to the Congress chiefs post.
Police officer Mahavir Singh said the incident occurred when the car, in a bid to save a pedestrian, collided with the truck and overturned after hitting the divider.
Four people travelling in the car died, two on the spot, he said.
The victims were identified as Kuldeep Prasad Mishra, Manish Singhal, Aman Gautam and Dinesh Yadav.

Responding to demands made by Ashok Gehlot loyalists and MLAs that any meeting on new Chief Minister be held after the Congress presidential election, Ajay Maken said as quoted by NDTV, It would be conflict of interest as the resolution would be passed when Ashok Gehlot may already be party chief.
