Two days ahead of Congress president Rahul Gandhi's election campaign rally in Mumbai, the infighting in the city unit of the party seems to have taken a backseat with former union minister and senior leader Milind Deora offering an olive branch to city president Sanjay Nirupam.

"Collaboration over conflict, discussion over debate is important to ensure that we lead a powerful, united campaign," Deora tweeted after meeting Nirupam on Tuesday. "I look forward to working closely with him," he wrote, adding that there was more that united them than divided them.
