Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot will hold a legislature party meeting at his residence in Jaipur at 5 pm on Thursday before the 200-member state assembly session is scheduled to begin. The CLP meeting would be attended by former deputy CM Sachin Pilot and other dissidents MLAs.
After nearly a month-long political turmoil, Gehlot on Wednesday said whatever misunderstanding occurred within the party in the last one month should be forgiven and forgotten in the interest of the country, state, people and in the interest of democracy.
As per the reports, the Congress crisis in Rajasthan ended after the intervention of the party top leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who met rebel leader Sachin Pilot earlier this week.
Last month, Pilot along with 18 other Congress MLAs rebelled against Gehlot triggering a political crisis in the state. He was then removed as deputy chief minister and the party’s Rajasthan unit chief.
