Rahul and Priyanka meet Pilot amid Rajasthan rumblings

In a signal that the Congress has started moving fast to resolve the Rajasthan tangle, party leader Rahul Gandhi met the state’s former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot in New Delhi on Friday, Sept 24, their second meeting in a week. While both sides remained tight-lipped about what transpired during the meeting, two senior Congress leaders maintained that it was a “good meeting” and went in the “right direction”. “We expect the effects of the meeting can be visible in next few days,” said a senior Congress functionary indicating that some of Pilot’s sympathisers might be relocated in different governmental positions in Rajasthan soon, as the first step.
