Sachin Pilot hits back after Gehlot's traitor barb

On Thursday, Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot hit back after Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's traitor "gaddaar” remark. He saidb“name-calling” and “mud-slinging” serves no purpose.

“Unbecoming of someone with such experience to use such language, I’ve always refused to do so,” Pilot said as quoted by the news agency PTI.

“Name-calling and mud-slinging serve no purpose; it’s time to unitedly fight BJP to defeat it, strengthen Rahul Gandhi’s hand,” added the Congress Rajasthan MLA who was in Madhya Pradesh to take part in Congress’s “Bharat Jodo Yatra”.

The party's top objective at the moment is to win the Assembly elections in Gujarat, where Ashok Gehlot is a senior observer. It is also critical to support Rahul Gandhi, who has spent the previous three months walking 2,000 miles as part of the Bharat Jodo Yatra to combat divisive forces.

“It is time for us to work together to defeat the BJP because only the Congress can defeat the BJP. I think this name-calling, mud-slinging and accusations that are going around are serving little purpose,” he said.

Earlier, in an interview with new channel NDTV Ashok Gehlot called Sachin Pilot a gaddar creative and he also stated that he cannot replace him as chief minister as he had revolted against congress in 2020 and try to topple his own government.

“The MLAs will never accept someone who has revolted and has been dubbed as a gaddar. How can he become the chief minister? How can the MLAs accept such a person as the chief minister? I have proof that Rs 10 crore each were distributed to the MLAs holed up in a Gurugram resort for toppling the Congress government in Rajasthan,” Gehlot told NDTV.
