The Congress party on Tuesday removed Sachin Pilot as the Deputy CM of Rajasthan for his rebellion against the party as he avoided the second gathering of MLAs in two days. Additionally, two ministers Vishvendra Singh and Ramesh Meena who went along with him in his revolt have also been dropped.
On Monday, the Rajasthan Congress Legislature Party passed a resolution to stretch out their help to the Ashok Gehlot driven government, which Pilot guaranteed, has been diminished to a minority.
The decision was taken at the Congress Legislature Party meeting as Pilot avoided the meet of Congress MLAs in spite of a few senior pioneers contacting him to end his spat with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. Subsequently Govind Dotra has been selected as the new Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Chief.
Attending to the media after the meeting, Senior leader Randeep Singh Surjewala blamed the BJP for misdirecting Sachin Pilot and different Congress ministers. “We addressed Pilot on different occasions and revealed to him that each one of his interests will be tended to. No other youth leader has developed as much as Pilot. We have given him due acknowledgment in the transient that he was in legislative issues.” The Congress had cautioned of activity against every one of the individuals who avoided the gathering today.
The state BJP unit, in the interim, has given a call for an official meeting today. Former Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria, Rajendra Rathore, BJP state president Satish Poonia are scheduled to meet today.
