Rajasthan Congress infighting: CM Ashok Gehlot 'likens Sachin Pilot to coronavirus'

Sachin Pilot's supporters are upset since Gehlot become CM in 2018 ending the speculation that young leadership would run the state. In the last 5 years, they have attacked each other on several occasions, however, the party claimed that all is well between the duo.

It seems the power tussle between Ashok Gehlot and his bete noire Sachin Pilot is not going to be softened as the Rajasthan CM once again attacked his former deputy.

A video surfaced in which the chief minister is purportedly saying that a 'big corona' entered the party after the pandemic.

It is believed that Gehlot allegedly likened Pilot to coronavirus.

The video is of a pre-budget meeting Gehlot had with the representatives of employees' union on Wednesday.

Responding to one of the participants during the meeting, Gehlot without naming anyone said, “I have started meeting...earlier corona came...a big corona also entered our party.”

He said that despite byelections or Rajya Sabha polls, the government has brought excellent schemes with the support of employees.

The comment by Gehlot is being seen as a counter to Pilot's repeated attack on his government.

In his daily public meetings since Monday in different districts, Pilot has been targeting the state government over the issues of paper leaks, sidelining party workers and political appointments to retired bureaucrats.

Gehlot and Pilot have been in a power tussle ever since the Congress formed the government in December 2018 and it is a big challenge for the party to fix it before the assembly election due in 2023.
