Rajasthan: Congress has reached out to rebel Sachin Pilot, declaring that “the doors were open for talks.”
New Delhi:
Backed by a show of force in which nearly 100 members of Congress from Rajasthan pledged their support for Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, the party reached out to rebel Sachin Pilot, saying that “the doors were open for talks. “.
97 MPs attended a meeting at the home of the Chief Minister and Sachin Pilot’s allegations that 30 MPs were on his side appeared to be out of step.
“We respect every congressman, including Sachin ji (Sachin Pilot). They are our own men. If a family member gets angry, he talks to his mother, father, uncles,” said the Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, sent to Jaipur in the midst of the party crisis.
In an apparent reference to Sachin Pilot, who skipped the meeting, Mr. Surjewala said, “Anyone who wants to join the meeting should just call Avinash Pandey and tell him the time when he arrives.”
