Political crisis in the Rajasthan unit of the Congress continues to deepen with Sachin Pilot skipping the crucial Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting in Jaipur. Even as the Congress top brass has made multiple attempts to broker peace, the two warring leaders -- Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his deputy Sachin Pilot have shown no signs of budging from their stands.

There has been no call from the members of the Gandhi family. Reports of some communication having taken place are attempts to mislead.”
Saying that attempts are being made to take away spotlight from issued raised by Sachin Pilot, the Pilot camp clarifies that Sachin Pilot has not asked for additional berths or higher share of seats in the panchayat election. “These are attempts to sideline flagged issues.
