Congress leader and former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Tuesday targeted Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over his claim that some BJP leaders had helped save his government during the 2020 rebellion. Mr. Pilot said it seemed Mr. Gehlot’s “real leader” was the BJP’s Vasundhara Raje rather than his own party’s Sonia Gandhi.
Mr. Pilot also announced that he would undertake a 125-km-long ‘Jan Sangharsh Yatra’ on foot from Ajmer, where the Rajasthan Public Service Commission is headquartered, on May 11, to raise the issue of corruption and leakage of papers for government recruitment exams. The march will culminate in Jaipur after five days.
Mr. Pilot made the all-out attack on the veteran Congress leader, who is serving the third term as the CM, on the day the former party president, Rahul Gandhi, arrived at Mount Abu in Rajasthan to take part in a Sarvodaya Sangam training camp, and a day before polling for the Assembly election in Karnataka.
