Kharge ji said, Rahul Gandhi ji said to me that Sachin Pilot ji forgive us, forget it and move ahead. And all of us have moved on. The party will take a proper decision at the proper time,” Pilot said after filing the nominations.

The Congress leader exuded confidence in winning the Rajasthan assembly elections and said that the atmosphere in the state is in the favour of the Congress.

“The atmosphere in the state is in the favour of the Congress. The people have seen the methodology of the BJP and their performance in the state. The Congress will form the government with a huge margin. Why is this (ED raids) action being taken ahead of the elections? The whole country is saying that the central agencies are being misused. We are working together with each other for the party. Our collective objective is to make the party win with a majority,” Sachin Pilot said.
