Election Over, Exit Polls Positive, On Sachin Pilot's To-Do Is Bath, Bed | Read

Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot, who once described himself as "overcautious", advises waiting for the counting of votes before the question of who will head the government in Rajasthan is answered. On a day the exit polls predicted a resurgence of the Congress -- placing it neck and neck with the BJP in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh and as an outright winner in Rajasthan - Mr Pilot said he was looking forward to a "nice bath and going to sleep". The 41-year-old - known to be close to party chief Rahul Gandhi -- is seen as one of the front-runners for the top job in Rajasthan. Many in the state expect him to head the government if the party comes to power. The other leader on the list is party veteran and former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who headed the government twice.
