Sachin Pilot claims support of 27 MLA’s

The ongoing conflict between Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot has now come to the fore. Sachin Pilot has said that he will not attend the Congress Legislature Party meeting. The Legislature Party is to meet at 10.30 am on Monday.

Sachin Pilot is not coming to Jaipur. He has not even met Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. It is being claimed by the pilot camp that the Gehlot government has reached a minority. Pilot said that many independent MLAs are with us. It is being told that 27 MLAs including Sachin Pilot are in touch with BJP.

Here, on Sunday night, CM Gehlot held a meeting with party MLAs and ministers. The Gehlot camp has claimed the support of more than 100 MLAs. At the same time, it is being told from the BJP that they are not in touch with Sachin Pilot. This is an internal matter of the Congress.

Earlier, Sachin Pilot’s friends Danish Abrar, Chetan Dudi and Rohit Bohra reached the Chief Minister’s residence. In the press conference held here, the three MLAs had said that our faith is in Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. We went to Delhi from our personal work. All three said that we have not had any interaction with Sachin Pilot in the last two days.

There is resentment in the camp for sending notice to Deputy CM Sachin Pilot on behalf of Special Operation Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police in the purchase case of MLAs. However, CM Gehlot gave clarification regarding this issue.

The CM had tweeted and said, “In the context of the Congress legislature party complaining about the horse trading by BJP leaders to SOG, the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, some other ministers and MLAs have received notices to make general statements. It is not appropriate to present it differently by some media.”
