The Congress organised a press conference at CM's residence soon after the MLAs' return to Jaipur. Behra claimed that he had gone to Delhi due to some personal reasons and that he will remain in Congress till the last breath.
Danish Abrar downplayed his meet with Sachin Pilot and said that it was 'routine' as he was part of Rajasthan Congress. He claimed that BJP had not approached him.
Congress has become active in the wake of developments in New Delhi and Rajasthan. The party sent senior leaders like Randeep Surjewala and Ajay Maken to Jaipur to stabilise the situation.
