Sachin Pilot's supporters raise slogans outside All India Congress Committee office as Ashok Gehlot arrives

New Delhi: Amid a protracted crisis in the Congress, the supporters of Sachin Pilot gathered at the AICC office in the national capital Friday and demanded that he be elected as the party president or be made the chief minister of Rajasthan. As soon as Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot arrived at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office, the supporters began raising slogans in favour of Pilot. “We want to see Sachin Pilot as the chief minister of Rajasthan or as the national president of Congress,” said a supporter of Pilot. “Rahul Gandhi is also young; the future of India is in the hands of the youth. Till the youth is not given a top post, Congress will not get power. Pilot knows about problems at the ground level and what the party workers go through. We demand he be made the party president,” he added. Gehlot Thursday announced he was pulling out of the Congress presidential polls following the political turmoil in Rajasthan. Pilot’s supporters wanted to see him as the next Rajasthan CM in the event Gehlot shifted to Delhi. The young leader met interim party president Sonia Gandhi in Delhi Thursday. After the meeting, he said the decision of the Congress chief will be final on who will be at the helm of affairs in Rajasthan. Gehlot, meanwhile, has said he had apologised to Sonia Gandhi for the problems emerging in the state triggered by his loyalists.
