Congress Leader, Sachin Pilot on Protest In Delhi

CM Ashok Gehlot silent on this matter…


New Delhi: On Wednesday, 12 April 2023, Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot reached Delhi to meet the party leadership, after defying party leadership with a protest against his party-led government in Rajasthan.

While Mr. Pilot’s meeting with the senior party leader is not yet scheduled, sources in the party have not ruled out the possibility of Mr. Pilot meeting the party leadership.

On Tuesday, Sachin Pilot's fast to press the Ashok Gehlot government for action against corruption drew a stern warning from the Congress, who said any such action on his part would amount to anti-party activity.

CM Ashok Gehlot, who has been silent on this, has called a press conference today (on Wednesday).

With a backdrop devoid of the Congress name or symbol, Mr. Pilot began his one-day fast in Jaipur on Tuesday surrounded by supporters aimed at his party rival Ashok Gehlot, whom he accuses of not acting on allegations against the BJP's Vasundhara Raje.

"We had given people the security that effective action will be taken against corruption by the former BJP government.

I wanted the Congress government to take action but it has not happened in the last four years," Mr. Pilot said.
