Gandhis assured the Pilot camp that all issues raised by them in Rajasthan will be resolved, add sources.

Party sources have also said that Sachin Pilot has been in touch with the top Congress leaders and his return was being worked out. Recently, Pilot’s nemesis Ashok Gehlot said that he would welcome back the rebel Congress MLAs if the party leadership forgives them. Gehlot on Sunday addressed a Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting at a resort in Jaisalmer, and said,” We are all democracy warriors. We are going to win this war and also win the assembly election after three-and-a-half years. The unity which you have shown till now, the same unity you have to show in the house.”
