Mr. Gehlot shared the video of their meeting on X and recalled his long association with Rajesh Pilot.
"AICC general secretary Sachin Pilot invited me to the program organised on the 25th death anniversary of former Union Minister Rajesh Pilot at his residence," Mr. Gehlot said on X.
He said, "Rajesh Pilot and I reached the Lok Sabha together for the first time in 1980 and were MPs together for about 18 years. We are still saddened by his sudden demise. The party also suffered a deep shock due to his departure."
Sachin Pilot also shared the photo of the meeting and wrote on 'X', "Met former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today. Requested him to attend the tribute ceremony organised in Dausa on June 11 on the 25th death anniversary of my father Rajesh Pilot."
