Moments after Congress president Rahul Gandhi posted a picture with Rajasthan's Chief Ministerial candidates Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot, following their meeting in New Delhi on Friday, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted a tweet replying to Congress chief's tweet.

In the tweet, JKNC leader Omar Abdullah appeared to have asked a question that the entire nation has been asking for the past three days after the declaration of assembly elections results in Rajasthan which professed Rahul Gandhi led Congress as the single largest party in the state - who will be the Chief Minister - Ashok Gehlot or Sachin Pilot!

Omar Abdullah captioned the tweet by asking, "It's done. So who is it?"

Earlier on Friday, while indicating an end to the ongoing deadlock over the chief ministerial pick for Rajasthan, Rahul Gandhi tweeted a picture with Pilot and Gehlot and captioned it “United colours of Rajasthan”.

Meanwhile, Sachin Pilot and Ashok Gehlot met Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leader earlier on Friday over the decision for the post of Rajasthan's CM. Following the meeting, AICC general secretary in-charge of party affairs in the state Avinash Pande stated that the final announcement for the post will be made by the party at 4:30 PM on Friday. 

In the light of the delay in the decision-making, heavy sloganeering was seen in favour of Sachin Pilot by some of his supporters outside Rahul Gandhi's residence in New Delhi during the meeting was underway.

On Thursday evening, Congress declared that Kamal Nath is the new Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh hours after heavy tug-of-war between Jyotiraditya Scindia and the senior leader.
