WATCH | Rahul Gandhi Receives 'United' Welcome From Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday received a “united” welcome from Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former deputy Sachin Pilot in Jaipur amid the intense campaigning in the state ahead of the polls. Rahul Gandhi stressed that the “party is united and will sweep the elections” in the state.

In a video surfaced on social media, Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot were seen walking together with Rahul Gandhi in Jaipur. “We are not only seen together but we are also united. We will be together and Congress will sweep the elections here and win,” Gandhi said.

Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot were pictured together amidst speculation of a rift in the Rajasthan leadership.

Earlier this week, Congress National General Secretary KC Venugopal also refuted reports of infighting within the party in poll-bound Rajasthan. He stressed that all leaders were working together to ensure the party came back to power in Rajasthan.

In an X (formerly Twitter) post, Venugopal also accused the BJP of “spreading canards about the party’s top leadership’s activity” in Rajasthan.

“A section of the BJP-sponsored propaganda-driven media is spreading canards about our top leadership’s activity in Rajasthan,” he said.

“From November 16 onwards, Kharge ji will be in Rajasthan for 3 days, Rahul ji will have public events spanning 4 days and Priyanka ji will also be campaigning for 3 days,” he said.

“This propaganda is being spread against us while there is complete silence about how PM Modi did not even have the courage to campaign in Mizoram,” he added.

Rajasthan will go to polls on November 25.
