Ashok Gehlot is likely to be the Congress's pick for Rajasthan chief minister, sources said on Friday.

The murmurs got louder after party president Rahul Gandhi appeared to have successfully brokered peace between the veteran leader and his younger colleague Sachin Pilot following several rounds of discussions.

'The united colours of Rajasthan,' Rahul said in a tweet along with a photograph.

Sources said Gehlot's name is likely to be announced as the party's pick for the post in the evening.

Rahul has met the two leaders separately thrice since Thursday. There have been hectic discussions between top party leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on the selection of chief ministers for Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

Senior party leaders K.C. Venugopal, Avinash Pande and Jitendra Singh were also present during the meeting on Friday.
