The two leaders were camping in the national capital and presenting their case with party chief Mallikarjun Kharge, General Secretary K.C. Venugopal and Karnataka in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala.

However, after the intervention by Sonia Gandhi, both the leaders, who till Wednesday met the senior leaders separately, met at the residence of Venugopal over breakfast and drove to Kharge's residence in the same car giving the message of unity.

The Congress had registered a thumping victory in May 10 polls, where the party won 135 out of 224 seats whereas the ruling BJP was reduced to 66 seats.
