The senior Congress leader is caught in a war of nerves with the party's high command over sharing of power with the rival camp led by his former deputy Sachin Pilot.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s praise for Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot during the foundation stone laying ceremony of medical colleges in the State has come as a breather to the senior Congress leader, who is caught in a war of nerves with the party's high command over sharing of power with the rival camp led by his former deputy Sachin Pilot.
Mr. Modi thanked Mr. Gehlot at the virtual event on Thursday for trusting him with a number of tasks and said this kind of “friendship, trust and faith” was the real strength of democracy. The Chief Minister had opened his heart and expressed his faith in a display of strong relationship, said Mr. Modi.
“I was listening to the CM of Rajasthan. He has given a long list of projects. His political ideology and party is different and mine is different, but he has so much faith in me. This friendship, trust and faith is a big strength of democracy,” Mr. Modi said.
