"We have talked to Rahul Gandhi. Our fight is not with Savarkar but with Modi ji," Sanjay Raut told reporters.
The Congress appeared to have mended its fences with Maharashtra ally Uddhav Thackeray, who was hugely upset over Rahul Gandhi's comments about VD Savarkar. Senior leader of Uddhav Thackeray's Sena faction, Sanjay Raut said Mr Gandhi has dialled Mr Thackeray and the differences are all in the past.
"We have talked to Rahul Gandhi. Our fight is not with Savarkar but with Modi ji," Mr Raut told reporters.
"The things that have been said in the meeting -- the things that have been said, are good things. Let our unity remain intact. I think it is going well," he added, alluding to last evening's dinner meet at Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's home.
Mr Thackeray had pulled out of the meet, saying Mr Gandhi's comments against Savarkar could drive a wedge in their alliance in Maharashtra.
