On the other hand, President of Bharatiya Janata Party, Rajasthan, Satish Poonia said that "Congress should do 'Congress Jodo Yatra' before 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'". Following the meeting of Sonia Gandhi, former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath was sent to Jaipur for talks with MLAs. Many political commentators and media thought that Ashok Gehlot faction MLA Shanti Kumar Dhariwal played an important role in the political crisis. Although both Gehlot and Pilot are silent on the crisis and not given any official statement on it. On 29 September 2022, after meeting with Sonia Gandhi, Gehlot took the decision to not to contest the Congress presidential election and to continue as Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
