Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot Inside A Chopper. Congress Unity Photo Op?

The picture is seen by many as the party's attempt to present a united face in the state leadership, barely a week after Ashok Gehlot's sharp political,message to opponents where he said, "I am here to stay".

Ajay Maken, the Congress general secretary in-charge of Rajasthan, today posted a photo of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his in-house rival Sachin Pilot as the senior Congress leaders left for an election rally for the bypoll elections in two seats due later this month. उपचुनावों के लिए रवाना, @ashokgehlot51 जी@SachinPilot जी@GovindDotasra जीके साथ! pic.twitter.com/FWej1bQyqh

The picture shows Mr Maken sitting inside a helicopter with Mr Gehlot sitting in front of him. Sachin Pilot and party state chief Govind Singh Dotasra are seen sitting on the other side.

"Off for the by-elections," Mr Maken wrote in Hindi, tagging the three leaders.
