(Riya Saha, Intern Journalist)JAIPUR: The Congress on Monday said its doors remain open for Sachin Pilot, the rebel leader who claimed that he has the support of over 30 party MLAs in the state’s 200-member assembly.
“Doors are open for Sachin Pilot and other MLAs,” senior leader Randeep Surjewala. The Congress Legislature Party meeting began about three hours later than scheduled, with ministers and MLAs flashed victory signs for the cameras.
The Congress said 109 MLAs have already expressed support for chief minister Ashok Gehlot, rejecting the claim by deputy chief minister and the party’s state unit president Sachin Pilot that the senior leader does not have the majority.
About 100 MLAs had walked into the chief minister’s residence by 12.30 pm, an hour before the meeting actually started.
But some MLAs considered close to Pilot had not arrived till then. These included G R Khatana, Harish Meena, Ramesh Meena, Vishvendra Singh, Ved Prakash, Mukesh Bhakar and Ramnivas Gawriya
