Sachin Pilot says “I am still the congressman”. Pilot want to reach Gandhi, stressing that chatter of him joining the BJP is an exercise “to malign him with Gandhi”.
Mr Pilot’s comment came as his party began a new round of punitive activities against him for “anti party activities”.
“Some leaders in Rajasthan trying to fuel speculation that I am joining BJP but I am not doing so. I have worked very hard to bring Congress back in govt in Rajasthan,” Pilot told the PTI.
Congress previously has sent him a notice to explain why he should not be disqualified as the member of the legislative Assembly.
Now yesterday Sachin Pilot was removed both as Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan as well as from the post of president of the Congress brand in the state.
After being dismissed by the Congress from every office he held in Rajasthan , Sachin Pilot tweeted on Tuesday, “The truth can be harassed but not defeated.” A few hours later, he expressed, again on Twitter, his thanks to his supporters.
“I am not joining the BJP,” Mr Pilot said this morning when he torched the crisis now subsuming the party.
The threat level to the Congress government in Rajasthan has gone down, said sources, with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot claiming the support of 105 MLAs, four more than he needs for a majority.
