Jaipur: The battle for the chair in the Rajasthan Congress has now taken a new turn. Today, Tuesday, April 11, Congress leader and former Deputy CM Sachin Pilot is going to fast against his own government. Before that, the Congress high command has warned Pilot on this step. The Congress has termed Pilot's fast as anti-party and anti-party activity. Assembly elections are proposed in Rajasthan this year. At the same time, a political tussle has been going on between Gehlot and Pilot for a long time.

Pilot says that the Gehlot government did not take any action on the issues of corruption, which led to the Congress gaining power in the state. Regarding this, the pilots will sit on hunger strike at the Martyr's Memorial in Jaipur today. He has not sent any formal invitation to the Congress leaders to join it. But it is believed that his supporters will be involved in this. Therefore, the Congress is engaged in the effort of damage control. In this sequence, Congress' Rajasthan in-charge Sukhjinder Randhawa issued a statement on Monday (April 10) night. In this statement, Randhawa says that Pilot should have discussed this issue within the party. His fasting in this way is against the interests of the Congress.

Randhawa further said, 'Sachin Pilot is going to fast for the whole day tomorrow (Tuesday). His fast is against the interests of the party and is an anti-party activity. If he has any problem with his own government, then it can be discussed on the platform of the party instead of in the media and in public. I have been in charge of the Rajasthan Congress for five months. But the pilot never spoke to me on this issue. I am in touch with him and still request that we talk. He is undoubtedly a strong pillar of the Congress party.

Apart from this, in another statement, Randhawa has said that he spoke with the pilot on the phone. Along with this, instead of making such public demonstrations, the party has been asked to raise matters on its forumsnstead of making such public demonstrations, the party has been asked to raise matters on its forums. Randhawa said, 'The two letters that Sachin Pilot is claiming to have demanded action against corruption in the Vasundhara Raje government were never mentioned.'

Let us tell you that since the Congress came to power in Rajasthan in 2018, there has been a tussle between Gehlot and Pilot. Pilot supporters have been demanding that he (Pilot) be made the CM, citing his youth. However, the Congress high command had handed over the throne to Gehlot and made Pilot the deputy CM to avoid confrontation. But then there was a dispute between the two, and Pilot was stripped of the Deputy CM post. Even now the supporters of Pilot are demanding that, since Gehlot has become the Chief Minister three times, Pilot should be given a chance. At the same time, questions are also being raised due to the fast being done by Pilot when the elections are just around the corner: why did Pilot remember the action against corruption only after 5 years? Is this a political bet by Pilot that can bring about a change in the politics of Rajasthan? However, the answers to these questions will be found only when the time comes.
