"It was assured to the people of the State that all is well in the Congress but I believe this is just a political break for the time being, and people of the state will get to hear the same things and words again like ' nakara', ' nikamma' and ' ghaddar'," he said.
Last week, Mr. Gehlot told NDTV that Pilot is a ' ghaddar' (traitor) who cannot replace him as Chief Minister as he had revolted against the Congress in 2020, and tried to topple the State government. In response, Mr. Pilot said such "mud-slinging" would not help.
