'''Ashok Gehlot''', son of Babu Laxman Singh Gehlot a magician who used to travel around the country to show his magic tricks.<ref name="Kidwai">{{cite web|url= https://thewire.in/politics/the-magician-in-rajasthan-congress|title= Ashok Gehlot: The Magician in Rajasthan Congress|website=thewire|first=Rashid|last=Kidwai|access-date=17 July 2020}}</ref> Gehlot came from a humble family background with no connection in politics.

He is married to Sunita Gehlot and has a son and a daughter.<ref name=bio/> His son Vaibhav Gehlot is a politician who contested in the [[Lok Sabha]] elections of 2019 from [[Jodhpur]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/moochh-ki-ladai-gehlots-son-in-prestige-fight/cid/1689596|title=moochh-ki-ladai-gehlots-son-in-prestige-fight|first=Imran Ahmed|last =Siddiqui |quote= The biggest factor, however, remains the caste arithmetic.

Gehlot is eyeing the OBC votes, especially the Mali community to which he belongs, as well as Muslims and SC/STs. |access-date=17 July 2020}}</ref>

He is a member of the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) party. He was influenced by the teachings of [[Mahatma Gandhi]] at a very young age and was actively engaged in social political work even as a student. During the [[East Bengali refugees]] crisis in 1971, he served in the refugee camps in the eastern states of India. It is there when former [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Indira Gandhi]] first identified his organizational skills during one of her visits to the refugee camps. Gehlot was later appointed the first State President of [[National Students' Union of India]] and successfully organised Congress's Student Wing in the state.<ref name="other posts"/> Gehlot is a staunch [[Gandhism|Gandhiite]] and he lived in [[Wardha]] to adapt his lifestyle as a Gandhiite. He eats before sunset and is a
pure [[vegetarian]] and enjoys Satvik Meals. He is also a [[Teetotalism|teetotaler]].<ref name="Kidwai"/>

==Political career==
[[File: The Chairperson, National Advisory Council, Smt. Sonia Gandhi launching the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), at Banswara, Rajasthan. The Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Shri Ashok Gehlot.jpg|thumb|left|[[Sonia Gandhi]] and Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot, launching the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), at Banswara, Rajasthan]]
He contested his first election for [[Rajasthan]] Legislative assembly in 1977 for [[Sardarpura]] constituency and lost by a margin of 4426 votes to his closest opponent Madhav Singh of the Janata Party. Gehlot had to sell his motorcycle to contest his first election.
In 1980 he contested [[Lok Sabha]] election from [[Jodhpur]] and won by a margin of 52,519 votes. In 1984 he was appointed as the [[Union Council of Ministers|Union Minister]]. In 1989 he lost the election from [[Jodhpur]].<ref name="career">{{cite web|url=https://www.elections.in/political-leaders/ashok-gehlot.html|title =Ashok gehlot :political career|website=Election.in|access-date=17 July 2020}}</ref>

When the Congress party returned to power in 1991 he was appointed as Union Minister again by then [[Prime Minister]] [[P.V. Narasimha Rao]]. He was discharged from his duty in 1993 and headed towards his home state Rajasthan to manage [[Congress]] political affairs. In 1998, Congress won a landslide victory by winning 153 out of 200 seats. Ashok Gehlot was appointed as the [[Chief Minister of Rajasthan]] for the first time.<ref name="career"/>

In 2003, Congress lost Rajasthan and won merely 56 seats. In [[2008 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election]] Congress was short of a majority by 4 seats and Gehlot who was a well-known troubleshooter in Congress was appointed as the Chief Minister to prevent instability and thus he was sworn in for the second time as Chief Minister.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.livemint.com/Politics/iQRykeSte2yOspMhwCxtAI/Congress-comes-up-tops-in-Rajasthan-with-96-seats.html |title=Congress comes up tops in Rajasthan with 96 seats |work=Mint |date=8 December 2008 |first=Ruhi |last=Tewari |access-date=17 July 2020}}</ref>

In 2013, Congress suffered its worst-ever defeat by only winning 21 seats in 200 member assembly. Gehlot was then appointed as [[All India Congress Committee|AICC]] [[General Secretary]] in 2013.<ref>{{cite news |last=Parihar |first=Rohit|date=8 December 2013|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/assembly-elections-2013/rajasthan/story/rajasthan-election-bjp-win-biggest-ever-congress-loss-biggest-ever-220101-2013-12-08|title=Rajasthan: BJP's win is the biggest ever for any party, Congress's loss is the worst|website =Indiatoday|access-date=17 July 2020}}</ref> He managed Congress National Affairs.
He remained at the position till 2018 and after [[2018 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election]], when Congress returned to power he was appointed as the Chief Minister for the third time despite the strong candidacy of [[Sachin Pilot]] due to his role in the revival of Congress after its worst-ever defeat in Legislative Elections. Ashok Gehlot was appointed due to his experience in administration. He is also known as a tough administrator.
[[Sachin Pilot]] was appointed as [[Deputy Chief Minister]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Ashok Gehlot sworn in as Rajasthan chief minister, Sachin Pilot as deputy CM |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/ashok-gehlot-sworn-in-as-rajasthan-chief-minister-sachin-pilot-as-deputy-cm/articleshow/67123915.cms |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=11 March 2020 |date=17 December 2018}}</ref>

On 14 July 2020, [[Sachin Pilot]] was sacked from his Cabinet and [[Pradesh Congress Committee|PCC]] President of Rajasthan due to enmity between the ranks of the Congress Party in Rajasthan.
