Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot brought together by Kharge and Rahul Gandhi

The Hindu  

Seeking to work out a “peace formula” between two warring party leaders, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on May 29 met Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former Deputy Chief Minister, Sachin Pilot, in the presence of senior party leader Rahul Gandhi. The first meeting was between Mr. Gehlot and the Congress chief at the latter’s residence at around 6 p.m., along with Mr. Gandhi and party general secretary K.C. Mr. Gehlot’s confidence stems from a recent opinion poll carried out between May 20 and 25 across 200 Assembly constituencies that claimed 69% of respondents still trusted the Congress under him, and his personal rating was double that of Mr. Mr. Kharge, and Mr. Gandhi, who was scheduled to depart for the U.S. late on Monday night/early on Tuesday, held a series of meetings with leaders of poll-bound States, including Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Earlier in the day, Mr. Kharge, Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Venugopal met leaders from the Madhya Pradesh Congress, including former Chief Ministers Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh, among others.
