Ashok Gehlot told reporters that he is 'hearing it from the media' and denied having any knowledge of the claim.

Dismissing claims of being offered the presidential post of the Indian National Congress, Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday, 24 August, told reporters in Gujarat that he is 'hearing it from the media' and denied having any knowledge of the claim.

The Rajasthan Chief Minister also added that he is 'fulfilling duties that have been assigned' to him.

Before leaving for a medical check-up abroad, Sonia Gandhi held a closed-door meeting with Mr Gehlot on Tuesday and offered him the post, a report in The Hindu said.
