Congress leaders offer Sachin Pilot ‘bigger party role’ amid Rajasthan tussle

The Hindu  

To avert a crisis staring the Congress in face in Rajasthan where the stand-off between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and senior leader Sachin Pilot threatens to derail the party’s campaign for Assembly election scheduled at the end of the year, Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath has been roped in to play the mediator. The two, it is learnt heard out Mr. Pilot’s side of the story and also proposed a meaty role for him in Delhi as a peace offering. Pilot on the other hand, sources said, complained about the “obvious partisan” role played by Rajasthan in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, citing the stern warning issued to him on the eve of his day-long fast. He also pointed that while the party acted with alacrity to warn him, a similar speed was not displayed in case of showcause notices issued to three Rajasthan leaders for organising a parallel meeting of Congress Legislative Party on September 25 directly challenging the Delhi leadership’s diktat.
