The Congress party has presented a unified front after a meeting between Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, former Deputy Sachin Pilot, party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi. The leaders have agreed to contest the upcoming Rajasthan Assembly elections jointly, with Venugopal, the party General Secretary, affirming that both leaders agreed to work together and definitely we will win in Rajasthan. Despite Gehlot and Pilot directing verbal attacks at each other in recent months, the acceptance of the unity proposal has given the party a much-needed boost ahead of crucial Assembly polls this year.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is a member of the Congress Party and became the Chief Minister of Rajasthan in 2018. He has been in politics for over four decades and has held various positions in governance. Prior to being inaugurated as the Chief Minister, Gehlot served as the Pradesh Congress Committee president.
Sachin Pilot is a former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan and a member of the Indian National Congress. He was sacked from his position in July 2020, following a dispute with Gehlot. Pilot was previously the President of the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee and fought for leadership change within the state, causing turmoil in the party unit.
