New Delhi: Almost a month after raising the banner of revolt against Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot today met Congress top leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in the capital today, reports said.
Sachin’s meeting with the Gandhis took place at Rahul Gandhi’s residence and it lasted around 2 hours.
‘A positive outcome’ is expected out of the meet, top sources privy to meet said.
Sources also confirmed to new agency PTI that Pilot has been in touch with top Congress leaders and a formula of return has been worked out.
According to a leading portal, Sachin Pilot is likely to get back 2 posts which he held before being sacked for rebellion. He may be offered Rajasthan Deputy CM and state Congress chief, it reported.
Pilot’s meet with Gandhis, 4 days before Rajasthan assembly session
The meeting of Pilot with the apex leadership of the Congress party comes just four days ahead of the assembly session of Rajasthan which has been called on Friday.
Congress could likely take a trust vote to express its mandate in the House. Currently, all MLAs owing allegiance to Gehlot are stationed at a resort for nearly a month now.
In the 200-member Rajasthan assembly, BJP has 72 MLAs. Congress has a total of 107 MLAs, out of which 19 legislators have switched loyalties to Pilot camp while 6 MLAs are from BSP, which were merged with Congress sometime back.
