Ashok Gehlot has already made it clear that he will not tolerate Sachin Pilot as the Chief Minister under any circumstances. In such a situation, it is clear that if the Congress high command removes him and makes Sachin Pilot the Chief Minister, then Ashok Gehlot can rebel like Captain Amarinder Singh.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot
Once again in Rajasthan Congress Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and eager to become chief minister Sachin Pilot A war of words broke out between In a scathing attack on Sachin Pilot, Ashok Gehlot has made it clear that he can never accept him as the Chief Minister, calling him a traitor and useless. Sachin Pilot has also hit back at Gehlot. These internal tussles in the Congress in Rajasthan are bringing back memories of the events that took place in Punjab last year. From this it seems that if Congress tries to change the leadership in Rajasthan, then its condition may be like Punjab there too.
Why the war of words between Gehlot-Pilot?
This latest war between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot has started in such a situation when Rahul Gandhi is trying to connect the whole country with the Bharat Jodo Yatra. On the other hand, in Rajasthan, the situation of break in the Congress seems to be taking shape. The question is arising that why suddenly Ashok Gehlot made such a scathing attack on Sachin Pilot. Let us tell you that after the political drama in Rajasthan before the election for the post of Congress President, Ashok Gehlot had apologized to the then Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
Since then he was silent. However, then KC Venugopal, general secretary in-charge of the Congress organization, had spoken of an early decision on the change of leadership in Rajasthan. But later this issue went into cold storage. Now what happened all of a sudden, due to which he had to launch such a scathing attack on Sachin Pilot. Political experts are trying to find the answer to this question.
Why is Gehlot giving air to the suppressed spark?
Significantly, Ashok is handling the election campaign of Congress in Gujarat. The assembly elections held in 2017 were in charge of his Gujarat. Congress had performed better then. That is why this time also he has been entrusted with the responsibility of Gujarat. The question has to be raised that why did Gehlot, who was trying to make the Congress win the Gujarat elections, feel the need to fan the spark buried under the ashes in Rajasthan by making a scathing attack on Sachin Pilot. Is the Congress high command going to change the leadership in Rajasthan like in Punjab? This question is arising because Gehlot has mentioned Punjab while attacking Sachin Pilot. He said that if there is a change of leadership in Rajasthan, he will not rebel like former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh. It is famous about Gehlot that he does not do what he says. They do what they don’t say.
Sachin Pilot gave a hint of change
Actually, the war of words between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot started after a tweet by Sachin Pilot. Sachin Pilot had pointed towards the change of power in Rajasthan by tweeting. It is believed that being furious with this, Ashok Gehlot bombarded statements against him. Sachin Pilot wrote, ‘Today is a new day for the Bharat Jodo Yatra. But the determination and enthusiasm to unite the country is the same. Participated in Bharat Jodo Yatra which started today from Borgaon, Madhya Pradesh. Every step taken with Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi indicates a positive change. ‘ Sachin Pilot shared a photo with the tweet, in which Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and himself were there.
Bombardment of Gehlot’s statements on Pilot
It is believed that it was only after this tweet by Sachin Pilot that Ashok Gehlot launched a scathing attack on him. In an interview given on a private TV channel, Ashok Gehlot had said, this traitor cannot become the Chief Minister. The high command cannot make Sachin Pilot the chief minister. Such a man who does not even have 10 MLAs, that’s why he rebelled. He has betrayed the party, he is a traitor. Sachin Pilot, who came on the backfoot from Gehlot’s attack, said that it does not suit a senior leader like Gehlot to use this language. He termed the statements received from Amit Shah and Dharmendra as baseless and appealed to unite to fight BJP.
Battle of Rajasthan reminds me of Punjab
The ongoing battle between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in the Rajasthan Congress is reminiscent of the battle between Captain Amarinder Singh and the then Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu in Punjab last year. Sidhu himself wanted to become the Chief Minister. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi also wanted to remove Captain Amarinder Singh. Taking out the middle way, Charanjit Singh Channi was made the Chief Minister. Amarendra left the party and formed his own separate party. The election result was that the Congress left the state.
Congress has lost a leader like Captain Amarinder Singh. After the election, Sidhu went to jail in an old case of culpable homicide and former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi also became silent after losing the election. Overall, the Congress was in loss due to the use of Punjab. His power is gone. Apart from this, serious questions were also raised on the political understanding of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
What will happen in Rajasthan?
Situation like Punjab is also arising in Rajasthan. Sachin Pilot is making every possible effort to become the Chief Minister. His supporters are loudly demanding to make him the Chief Minister. Some ministers of the Gehlot cabinet are also involved in this. Meanwhile, Vijay Bainsla, a prominent leader of the Gujjar community, has also demanded that Sachin Pilot be made the Chief Minister, saying that if this is not done, his community will oppose Rahul Gandhi’s visit and this statement of Rahul Gandhi’s visit will harm Rahul Gandhi. During the visit to India, there is a possibility of increasing discord in the Congress.
Ashok Gehlot has already made it clear that he will not tolerate Sachin Pilot as the Chief Minister under any circumstances. In such a situation, it is clear that if the Congress high command removes him and makes Sachin Pilot the Chief Minister, then Ashok Gehlot can rebel like Captain Amarinder Singh. If this happens then the fate of Congress in Rajasthan will be same as that of Punjab.
Significantly, Ashok Gehlot has been saying that the party high command should first conduct a survey that under whose leadership the Congress will return to power. If the Congress is winning the elections under his leadership, then let him remain the Chief Minister and if it is winning under someone else’s leadership, then make him the Chief Minister. Ashok Gehlot claims that this time he will return Congress to power, although his claim does not match with his previous record. Before this, his Chief Minister remains twice. Under his leadership, the Congress contested the elections, both the times the Congress had to face defeat and the number of MLAs of the Congress was less than half as compared to earlier.
