The Congress party is seeking another term ahead of crucial Lok Sabha polls in 2024.
Jaipur:
Amid the Gehlot-Pilot brawl, Rajasthan Congress official Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said on Saturday that the big old party had nothing to do with Sachin Pilot’s Jan Sangharsh Yatra which peaked on May 15.
“It is his Yatra. Congress has nothing to do with it. State-level discussions should be conducted, before the CM and other senior leaders. But organizing the Yatra before the Karnataka elections is not good to do,” Mr Randhawa said.
He said there are no permanent friends or enemies in politics. “We will speak with Sachin Pilot”.
Mr Pilot recently terminated his yatra and gave a 15-day ultimatum to CM Ashok Gehlot to take action against corruption cases in the state.
The congressional leader also threatened to take to the streets and stage statewide protests if the CM does not act by May 31.
Mr Pilot has made three demands – an action against corruption charges against the former BJP government, the dissolution and re-establishment of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) and its re-establishment, and compensation for the people affected by the paper leaks – and demanded action by the end. of this month.
Congress Rajasthan unity continues to give headaches to the party high command as simmering tensions between Mr Gehlot and Mr Pilot came to light ahead of Assembly elections in the state which are to be held later this year.
