Jaipur: Senior Congress leader and former deputy chief minister of Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot, sat on a daylong fast at Shaheed Samarak in Jaipur on Tuesday, calling for action by the incumbent Ashok Gehlot government against alleged corruption during the previous BJP rule under former chief minister Vasundhara Raje.
Before launching his fast on Tuesday, Pilot, a former Union minister, paid floral tributes to social reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule.
Speaking on the ongoing daylong fast by Pilot, who fell out with the Rajasthan CM and has been taking veiled digs at him ever since, BJP leader Rajendra Rathore on Tuesday said the protest by the Congress against his own government would prove to be the last nail in the coffin of the incumbent government.
