Rejig on cards for Rajasthan Congress? Sachin Pilot's meet with Sonia Gandhi sparks buzz

India Today  

Congress leader Sachin Pilot met party president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday, sparking speculation about a change of guard in Rajasthan Congress leadership ahead of next year’s elections in the state. This was Sachin Pilot’s second meeting with the party leadership in a fortnight, and followed just after Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot’s meet with Sonia Gandhi. Following the meeting, Sachin Pilot said, “Discussed strategies on strengthening party, organisational elections and also gave feedback about the political scenario in Rajasthan to party President. In the last 30 years in Rajasthan, there is a trend of alternate government after five years-- that is one time BJP and next time Congress.” Some changes in government and organisation in the right direction have been made through the AICC committee that was formed about two years ago and "we have to move forward on that", Pilot said.
