The Congress president also discussed the functioning of government in the sate.

"There was a discussion on the political situation and governance in the desert state," Pilot told reporters after the meeting.

"We held a detailed discussion on all aspects. It was a good and healthy discussion," he said.

When asked about his statement on law and order in the state, he said, "Sonia Gandhiji knows about everything".

The Rajasthan deputy CM said he had presented a roadmap for strengthening the Congress Party in Rajasthan.

Pilot is also the PCC chief in Rajasthan.

He said Rajasthan Congress leaders would campaign in the upcoming Haryana assembly elections and extend all help to bring the party to power.
