Inder Mohan Singh, the leader from the Sachin Pilot camp who wrote letter to Rahul Gandhi, said the Congress workers want a young chief minister and that they want to see Sachin Pilot as the chief minister.

“Respected Ashokji has given a statement in Udaipur which has put Congress workers in a dilemma. The young Congress workers are working with gusto and want a young chief minister, they want Sachin Pilot. Sachin Pilotji has been working so hard, 24*7 for the Congress party, for the benefit of the state. Everyone wants to see him as the chief minister. No doubt about that,” said Inder Mohan Singh.

On the other hand, Ashok Gehlot evaded the question on clash within the Congress for the CM face and  reacted in a diplomatic manner saying:

“I am a soldier of Congress who hasn't asked for anything other than the ticket in '77. Whoever the Congress president has been, be it Indiraji, Rajivji, Narasimha rao or Soniaji, Congress has always given me everything without asking. I have always fulfilled my responsibilities. Whatever the decision is, I will fulfill my responsibility. I will keep serving the people of Rajasthan wherever I'll be.”
