Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot And the round of allegations and counter-allegations continues between Congress leader Sachin Pilot. Pilot has given a befitting reply to Gehlot’s ‘traitor’ jibe. He said that Ashok Gehlot rejected me, called me a traitor, those are baseless allegations. There is no need for this. He said that when I was the party president, the BJP was badly defeated in Rajasthan. Nevertheless, the Congress President gave Gehlot another chance to become the CM.
According to the news of Hindustan Times, Pilot said that today the priority should be on how we can win the Rajasthan elections again. Let us tell you that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had declared Congress leader Sachin Pilot a traitor. The special thing is that assembly elections are to be held in the state next year. In such a situation, with this statement of Gehlot, the internal discord in the Congress party in Rajasthan seems to be increasing.
‘Pilot is also accused of toppling the government’
Gehlot said that Pilot had rebelled against the party in 2020 and tried to topple the Gehlot-led government, so he cannot be made the chief minister. Gehlot also alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also had a role in the rebellion when some Congress MLAs, led by Pilot, stayed at a resort in Gurugram for more than a month.
The Chief Minister of Rajasthan claimed that he had proof that Rs 10 crore each was given to each MLA, including Pilot. He said that if the party high command wants, it can make anyone out of 102 MLAs the Chief Minister in his place except Pilot. Gehlot said in the conversation that the MLA will never accept the one who rebelled and who was called a traitor.
‘Gehlot is a senior and experienced politician’
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that Ashok Gehlot is a senior and experienced politician. Whatever differences he has expressed with his young colleague Sachin Pilot, they will be resolved in such a way that the Congress party emerges even stronger. At this time, it is the duty of every Congress worker to make the already phenomenally successful Bharat Jodo Yatra even more effective in North Indian states.
