Congress has been maintaining that a "formula" to broker peace between Gehlot and Pilot have been chalked out which can't be shared with the media. A few days ago, Congress general secretary in-charge of Rajasthan Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa had also ruled out the possibility of dissident leader Sachin Pilot floating a new party.
