He also sought action against the Congress MLAs in Rajasthan who defied the party's plan to replace Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in September after he was asked to become Congress president.
"As far as Raj is concerned, a CLP meet called on 25 Sept couldn't be held. AICC considered it a matter of indiscipline...Rules same for all. So, if indiscipline occurred&replies were given,action should be taken.I believe party chief Kharge will take a decision soon," said Sachin Pilot, reported ANI.
Meanwhile, Gehlot reacted saying, "They should not make such remarks. KC Venugopal has asked everybody in the party to not make any such remarks. We want that everybody should follow discipline," as reported by news agency ANI.
PM Modi on Tuesday had shared the Dias with Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat chief ministers Ashok Gehlot, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Bhupendra Patel.
During the event honouring tribals at Mangarh dham, Gehlot heaped praises on the PM and said, "When Modi goes abroad, he gets so much respect. Why he gets the respect, he gets the respect because Modi is the prime minister of a country that is the country of Gandhi, roots of democracy are deeper and even after 70 years, democracy is alive. People know this and give respect."
Modi too showered praises on Gehlot and said, "It is a matter of pleasure for me that I had the opportunity to visit the holy place and bow my head here. As a CM, Ashok ji and I used to work together. Ashok ji was seniormost among the group of chief ministers. He is still one of the seniormost CMs. And even now, Ashok ji is one of the seniormost CMs among those who are sitting on the dais."
