Congress candidates, who lost the assembly elections in 2018, and supporters of former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot were earlier in Delhi to meet the top leadership.

The three, Ameen Khan, who has been a minister, Madan Prajapat, and Mewaram Jain, were expected to meet Congress’s Rajasthan in-charge Ajay Maken on Saturday.

A Congress leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Cabinet expansion is on the cards and Gehlot is likely to induct some lawmakers from the Pilot camp such as former minister Hemaram Choudhary. He added the three lawmakers were expected to demand fair representation in the expansion.

Khan claimed his visit to Delhi has no political motives. “We have come here for a general visit and will be meeting various leaders such as Maken and others.”
