In an interview with news agency PTI, Pilot on Saturday indicated that he has buried the hatchet with CM Ashok Gehlot on the advice of party president Mallikarjun Kharge, saying collective leadership was the "only way" forward going into the assembly polls.
He had said Kharge advised him to "forgive and forget" and move forward. "It was as much an advice as a directive," he remarked, as per PTI.
Gehlot and Pilot have been engaged in a war of words since the Congress formed government in the state in 2018. In 2020, Pilot led a rebellion against the Gehlot government after which he was removed from the posts of the party's state unit president and deputy chief minister.
