Chunav Manch: Amidst the electoral fervor in Rajasthan, former Deputy Chief Minister of the state and ex-President of the Congress party, Sachin Pilot, made a significant claim. Speaking on India TV's Chunav Manch, he stated that the people of the state are poised to change the tradition. The prevailing tradition of unchanged governments is being challenged, and this time, the public is ready to alter it. Pilot emphasised that the voters are aware that without changing this tradition, the progress of the state might come to a halt, paving the way for another term of empty promises.
Addressing the alleged discord with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Pilot clarified that there is no dispute between them. The leader stressed the importance of unity within the party, highlighting their collective commitment to contesting the elections together and regaining control of the government.
Sachin Pilot criticises BJP
Sachin Pilot criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating that during the five years they spent in opposition, they failed to initiate significant actions. According to Pilot, BJP leaders were inactive during this time, but with the approaching elections, they are suddenly vocal about various issues. He remarked that the public had given them an opportunity to work in the opposition, but they failed to fulfill their duties. Pilot went on to express that BJP's leaders have so many internal conflicts that resolving them might take a toll on their personal lives. He suggested that instead of managing their own households, they are meddling in others'.
Congress aims to change 30 years of history
Pilot claimed that for the past 30 years, the state has followed the tradition of avoiding the repetition of governments. However, this time, the Congress party is determined to change this historical trend. Speaking about the post-election scenario, Pilot explained that after voters cast their ballots for the party, the decision about the Chief Minister is made in a party meeting following the legislative group's discussions. He highlighted that this process occurred in 2018 and is expected to repeat in 2023.
Denying dispute with Ashok Gehlot
Addressing rumors of a dispute with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Pilot categorically stated that there is no conflict between them. He mentioned that issues were raised regarding certain deficiencies in the government's schemes, and upon raising his concerns, both he and Gehlot were able to resolve the matters amicably.
