Earlier today, Sachin Pilot cautioned that PM Modi's remarks for Ashok Gehlot should not be taken lightly.
Shortly after Rajasthan former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot raised eyebrows over Prime Minister Narendra Modi "praise" for Ashok Gehlot, the chief minister on Wednesday urged his party leaders to "maintain discipline" and refrain from making political statements.
Earlier in the day, Mr Pilot cautioned that PM Modi's remarks for Ashok Gehlot should not be taken lightly and also nudged his party to end the "state of indecision" over the chief minister's post. He also pushed the party for action against the Rajasthan leaders who led a show of strength for Mr Gehlot in September, boycotting a Congress Legislature Party meeting.
"AICC general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal has asked not to give statements. We, too, want all leaders to maintain discipline," Mr Gehlot told reporters during his Alwar visit.
He said the party's focus should be on retaining the government in Rajasthan.
