Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday said hinted that he was not averse to the party picking Sachin Pilot as his successor in the state. Gehlot said he had held different constitutional posts for 40 years and the new generation should get a chance now.

Meanwhile, many MLAs considered close to CM Gehlot met under the leadership of Cabinet Minister Shanti Dhariwal, which was seen as an attempt to pressure the party high command to pick a Gehlot loyalist as his successor.
