Not on talking terms for 1.5 years, but will hug Pilot if he returns, says Ashok Gehlot

Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday claimed that his former deputy Sachin Pilot had begun plotting the fall of his government from its inception and that “they were not on talking terms for the last one-and-a-half years”. He claimed Pilot has been playing the victim card and had unnecessarily made the state Special Operation Group (SOG) notice to him an issue. Notices were issued to 10-12 MLAs, he said.
