Congress to review issues raised by Sachin Pilot: Virender Singh Rathore
Jaipur (PTI): Congress national secretary and Rajasthan co-incharge Virender Singh Rathore on Friday said the party will review the issues raised by Sachin Pilot.
He said all the issues will be sorted out through dialogue with the party leaders.
Rathore was in Barmer to attend a review meeting of the district Congress Committee.
"Every party has its own internal conflicts and it is not required to discuss them in the public. There are some issues raised by Congress leader Sachin Pilot and the party will resolve it," Rathore told reporters.
The AICC secretary said they are all set for upcoming elections and exuded confidence that they will form the government again.
Rathore said the Congress government in Rajasthan has launched numerous welfare schemes which are not only benefiting the people but also changing their lives.
LPG cylinders at Rs 500 and 100 units of free electricity have a major impact on the public, he said.
Prior to the press conference, addressing the Congress committee meeting, Rathore urged the local leaders to solve the issue at their own level saying they "need not depend on Delhi".
He appealed to all the party workers to be united and keep the party first.
"We all have a single identity, which is 'Congress worker' and we should feel proud of ourselves because we are carrying the legacy of a party which has played a great role in the freedom movement and nation building," said Rathore.

Dense fog disrupts operations at Delhi airport; 228 flights cancelled, 5 diverted
New Delhi (PTI): Dense fog disrupted flight operations at Delhi Airport on Monday, with various airlines cancelling 228 flights and diverting five to nearby airports due to low visibility, an official said.
However, except for Air India, which had in an X post in the morning announced the cancellation of some 40 flights, no other airlines, including crisis-hit IndiGo, shared the numbers of their cancelled or delayed flights.
"As many as 228 flights -- 131 departures and 97 arrivals-- have been cancelled due to low visibility, so far," the airport official said.
In addition to this, five flights have been diverted so far, he said.
Earlier, the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), in a statement, said, "Our on-ground officials are working closely with all stakeholders to assist passengers and provide necessary support across Terminals.
"Low visibility (below minima), due to dense fog, has severely impacted operations at Delhi and other airports across northern India, which is unfortunately beyond our control," IndiGo said in a statement.
As operations are adjusted to prevailing weather conditions, some flights may experience delays, while a few others may be proactively cancelled during the day to prioritise safety and minimise extended waiting at the airport, the airline said in a statement.
IndiGo, however, did not say how many of its flights were cancelled or delayed.
The airline said its teams are "closely monitoring" the situation and coordinating with Delhi airport.

It also said that some flights have been cancelled In the interest of safety, and to avoid prolonged uncertainty for the guests, while listing out some 40 arrivals and departures that it had cancelled for the day.
Delhi airport is the country's busiest, handling around 1,300 flight movements daily.
