ABP News Bureau | 13 Dec 2018 08:36 PM (IST)
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Thursday held marathon consultations with senior party leaders, including Sonia Gandhi to select chief ministers for newly-won Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh apparently stymied by a tussle between the old and the young guard.
Gandhi's official residence in became a revolving door as four main chief ministerial claimants and AICC observers for the three Hindi heartland states which also included Chhatisgarh made repeated visits to hold several rounds of discussions to assist the party president to untie the gordian knot.
"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time," Gandhi quoted Leo Tolstoy in a curious tweet along with a picture of him flanked by Jyotiraditya Scindia and Kamal Nath, the two top contenders for Madhya Pradesh.
Rahul's sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also visited his house while intense parleys were on, but there was no confirmation whether she was a participant.
As hours went by without an announcement, tension and sloganeering rose among supporters of various contenders, spilling into violence in some areas of Rajasthan.
