So, the matter of the Rajasthan CM seems to have been resolved, but we still don't know who wears the crown even though Ashok Gehlot remains the frontrunner.


Congress president Rahul Gandhi has just tweeted this picture (image alongside) with the two contenders for the Rajasthan CM's post -- Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot -- with the words, 'The united colours of Rajasthan'. All the three are smiling in the picture a far cry from the friction between the two sides last night.


After several rounds of discussions on selecting the chief minister of Rajasthan, top contenders for the post, Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot, reached the residence of party chief Rahul Gandhi on Friday for a final settlement on the issue.


Yesterday, ahead of the announcement of Kamal Nath as MP CM, Rahul had tweeted a smiling picture with Madhya Pradesh chief ministerial contenders Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia and quoted Leo Tolstoy to say that the two most powerful warriors are patience and time.


According to sources, both Gehlot and Pilot were called by the Congress president for an amicable settlement to the issue amid a clear fight between the old and the young guard in the party.


Sources said former Union minister and party leader from Rajasthan Jitendra Singh met Pilot earlier in the day and then met Gandhi. Party's central observer for Rajasthan K C Venugopal and AICC general secretary in-charge of party affairs in the state Avinash Pande were also present at Gandhi's residence during the discussions.
