Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on October 19 claimed to have adopted a “forget and forgive” policy with regard to the July 2020 rebellion against his government by his former deputy Sachin Pilot. He also asserted that the Chief Minister’s post would not leave him, even when he wants to quit.
“I want to leave the post but this post isn’t leaving me. How many CMs in India can say that I want to leave but the post isn’t leaving me? And maybe it won’t leave me,” Mr. Gehlot told reporters at the All India Congress Committee headquarters on October 19.
He said that there must be something in him for the high command to have chosen him thrice to lead the State, but added that any decision taken by the leadership going forward would be acceptable to all.
