Efforts to pacify Gurudas Kamat, who had quit the Congress a fortnight ago, are likely to bear fruit soon and party president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi have spoken to him over the issue.

A senior party leader, who declined to be identified, said Jairam Ramesh was in touch with Kamat who was 'not happy' with the politics being played by Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam and All India Congress Committee general secretary Mohan Prakash, who is in charge of party affairs in Maharashtra.

The leader said Sonia and Rahul had spoken to Kamat recently in a bid to pacify the senior leader.

Kamat has said that he has the 'highest respect and regard' for Sonia and Rahul and his 'resignation is purely on personal grounds'.

On June 6, the 61-year-old Kamat had announced his decision to quit active politics, springing a surprise on the party.
