No Rahul Gandhi Meet, Says Sachin Pilot, Congress Appeals - And Berates | Read

Sachin Pilot, the 42-year-old Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, told NDTV this evening that there are no plans for a meeting with Rahul Gandhi this evening, making it clear that he remains unmoved by his party's attempts to forge a reconciliation with him. The central party leadership of the Congress tried to up the EQ in the drama, with sources close to Mr Gandhi stating that the two "speak often, directly... and have great respect and affection for each other"; the party's Rajasthan branch, however, was less moony about Mr Pilot's renegade act, demanding punitive action.
