We should get a comfortable majority in Rajasthan,” Pilot told reporters in Jaipur. Asked about who will be the chief minister, Pilot said Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and the party’s MLAs will decide on it. Asserting that it is a decisive day today, Pilot recalled that exactly a year ago Gandhi became the chief of the party. “What could be a better gift to him than victory in these states,” Pilot said. Later, Pilot said that while he was confident that the Congress would get a clear majority in Rajasthan, he was in touch will all like-minded parties and Independent candidates who are leading in the trends. Pilot also said that he was in touch with anti-BJP candidates and his party was ready to partner with like-minded parties in case they need help in forming the government in Rajasthan. Pilot said that the mandate against BJP is a result of people’s angst against the saffron party’s polices and politics.
