For Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot Or Ashok Gehlot? Congress To Decide Post Win | Read

The Congress' victory celebrations in Rajasthan on Tuesday were all about careful optics as its two top leaders in the state, a generation apart, displayed complete harmony and togetherness despite speculation of a tussle over who will be chief minister. Three-time chief minister Ashok Gehlot drove to his younger colleague and state Congress chief Sachin Pilot's home. Then the two posed for photos, their fingers splayed in a victory sign. Then there were images of Ashok Gehlot sipping tea with Sachin Pilot, at the same meeting. The celebrations that started in the morning dimmed in a few hours of counting as it was clear that the Congress' victory was not quite the sweep that it expected.
