New Delhi, Aug 11 (TIWN) Amid efforts to bring rebel Rajasthan leader Sachin Pilot and his supporters back into the party fold, the sulking leader met Rahul Gandhi at his residence on Monday and a rapprochement seems to have been arrived at, top Congress sources said.

According to the sources, after Pilot met Rahul Gandhi at his residence, they again met in presence of party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi and then, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi drove to 10 Janpath – the residence of interim party chief Sonia Gandhi, where all three held discussions.

Sources say that Congress has assured Pilot that his grievances regarding Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and state politics will be addressed and his previous status – Deputy Chief Minister and state party chief – will be restored.

Congress leaders claimed that the Pilot camp had approached top party leaders, including Ahmed Patel, for a deal and Rahul Gandhi was taken into confidence and supported the move.

Party sources had earlier said that a deal has been struck between the two sides and a formal meeting may take place on Monday itself.

The development came after party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi met Rahul Gandhi at his residence to work out the deal.
