NEW DELHI: The mutual appreciation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot during an official programme on Tuesday has intensified the internal rift in the Congress. Citing the example of former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot has raised questions over the next move of Gehlot.
Talking to media persons on Wednesday, Pilot said the PM’s praise of Gehlot was interesting and should not be taken lightly.
"The remarks of the PM and the praises that he made I understand that it is an interesting development because he had praised Ghulam Nabi Azad in a similar fashion inside Parliament. We have seen the series of developments it led to. Therefore, the PM's lavish praise yesterday should not be taken lightly," he said.
