“Whatever the MLAs have to say they will say in the meeting and the final decision is left to the Congress president and other party leaders. We will take a call on Thursday,” Pilot had said.

Congress MLAs in all three states have unanimously authorised Rahul Gandhi and the party leadership to select the chief minister.

Speaking to ANI, Surjewala said, “The process of electing the chief ministers of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan is presently underway. The Congress party believes in the democratic process of knowing the viewpoint of each elected legislator.
