The meeting is also understood to have discussed ways to unite various party factions in the wake of the ongoing tussle between Gehlot and Pilot.
Kharge posted a video of the meeting on his Twitter account and said Rajasthan was on the path of progress due to the Congress government’s schemes of inclusive development and public welfare “which reached every household”.
Emerging from the meeting, Pilot and Venugopal said the party would fight the elections together and exuded confidence that it would retain power in the state.
“Every section of Rajasthan — farmers, labourers, youth, women —is expressing faith in the Congress party,” Mallikarjun said.
“We will take care of everyone’s aspirations. Both the present and future of Rajasthan are safe in the hands of Congress. History will change this time,” he said, referring to the revolving door trend of the incumbent party being voted out of power in the state.
