Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former deputy, Sachin Pilot, have been named in the 29-member Pradesh Election Committee that the Congress announced on Thursday for the upcoming Assembly election.
The announcement of the election panel by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) comes barely two weeks after Mr. Pilot and Mr. Gehlot agreed to a truce.
Sources had earlier told The Hindu that the high command was willing to offer chairmanship of the Campaign Committee to Mr. Pilot to end the leadership tussle. There was also a speculation that he could be given position in the Central Working Committee (CWC) that is likely to be announced shortly.
