Congress distances itself from Sachin Pilot’s ‘Jan Sangharsh Yatra’

Jaipur: Amid the Gehlot-Pilot tussle, Congress Rajasthan in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said on Saturday that the old party has nothing to do with Sachin Pilot’s Jan Sangharsh Yatra, which ended on May 15. with this. It should be discussed at the state level, in front of the CM and other senior leaders. But traveling ahead of Karnataka elections is not good,” Randhawa said. There are no permanent friends or foes in politics. We will talk to Sachin Pilot, he said.

Pilot recently concluded his yatra and gave a 15-day ultimatum to CM Ashok Gehlot to act against corruption cases in the state. The Congress leader has also threatened to hit the streets and protest across the state if action is not taken by the CM by May 31.

Sachin Pilot has put forth three demands – action against corruption allegations against the previous BJP government, dissolution and reorganization of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) and its reorganization, and compensation for those affected by the paper leak – and demands action till the end Of this month.

The Rajasthan unit of the Congress continues to be a headache for the party high command as the ongoing tussle between Gehlot and Sachin Pilot has come to the fore just ahead of the assembly elections in the state later this year. The Congress party is seeking another term before the crucial Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
