Ashok Gehlot And Sunil Kanugolu Differed On Leadership Issues?
Sunil Kanugolu was once a very close associate of Prashant Kumar. Later both parted away and Sunil joined the Congress wagon to help Congress leadership find out the most appropriate candidates for the constituencies source says. It was Sunil Kanugolu, close to Rahul Gandhi, who managed the elections campaign in the Karnataka source says. His formula clicked and the Congress party formed the government in the state. The Karnataka state government has given him the status of cabinet minister. After grand success in Karnataka Congress entrusted Kanugolu to formulate the campaign policy and suggest the most appropriate candidate of all constituencies of all five states source says. All the state leaders were told to follow the guidelines and some tickets were disallowed to sitting MLAs on suggestions of Kanugolu a source says. Everything was going smoothly but the suggestion to have a new face to lead the Rajasthan party in place of Ashok Gahlot created flurries and on no account Ashok Gahlot accepted the suggestions extended by Kanugolu concerning Rajasthan and ultimately Kanugolu had to fly back to Bangluru without enforcing his suggestions source says.
