Rajasthan got a reshuffled 15-member Cabinet today, with last year’s ‘rebellion’ by Sachin Pilot transforming into a more cohesive front ahead of the state polls in 2023.
Pilot, a strong leader with substantial weight of his own, had taken a stand against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, but he was now quoted by reporters as saying: “there are no factions within the party" and "We all work under the leadership of the Gandhis”.
