Sachin Pilot held a press conference in Jaipur on Tuesday.

The fight between Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Congress leader and former deputy CM Sachin Pilot has now come to the fore. He responded openly on Gehlot’s allegations on Tuesday. He said, ‘For the first time I am seeing that someone is criticizing MPs and MLAs of his own party. The praise of BJP leaders and the insult of Congress leaders is beyond my understanding. This is completely wrong.

‘From the words of the Chief Minister, it seems that their leader is Vasundhara Raje, not Sonia Gandhi. Many people talk a lot, gossip to please their leaders. Such things are also said to me, but if I say this on stage, it does not suit.

2 big things of Sachin, said- Now I am hopeless

  • Pilot said, ‘We went to Delhi and said our words. Wrote letters for several months on the corruption of Vasundharaji. Sitting on hunger strike. Haven’t checked yet. I understand why action was not taken. Now I am hopeless. The public is God.
  • Everyone will have to bow down before the public. Will take out a march from Ajmer to Jaipur on May 11 against corruption. There will be a 125 km long journey and it will take 5 days.

Gehlot advised to return Amit Shah’s money yesterday
On Sunday, Gehlot accused the MLAs of Pilot Camp in Dhaulpur of taking Rs 10 to 20 crores during the political crisis. Gehlot also advised the MLAs to return Amit Shah’s money.

Amit Shah, Dharmendra Pradhan and Gajendra Singh Shekhawat conspired together to topple our government. Money was distributed to the MLAs in Rajasthan. These people are not taking back the money. I am worried, why are they not taking the money back? Why are you not asking for this money back? read full news

Ashok Gehlot had organized an inflation relief camp at Rajkheda in Dhaulpur on Sunday.  Accused the pilot right here.

Now read in detail – what did the pilot say on which issue…

Hitting back at Gehlot, said- those whose political life has flourished on the basis of money, they see money

On Gehlot’s allegations of taking money from Shah, Pilot said- ‘It doesn’t make any sense to accuse anyone that thousand crores have been eaten, one lakh crores have been eaten. If anyone in public life has any facts, evidence, then action should have been taken. Why hasn’t it been done yet? People whose entire political life has flourished only on the basis of money, perhaps they see money in everything. It is not so, public sentiment and image are also something. If people whose politics has been running only on the basis of money see money in everything, then I have no solution for it.

You are defaming the MLAs who made you CM?
He said – If anyone can point a finger at me, then tell. We have also held important positions. No one is going to benefit from making such allegations. I can also make allegations. What is the problem with someone opening his tongue? But we stayed calm. Even after being abused, we did not give up the discipline of the party. It is easy to make allegations, but difficult to answer to the public. You are defaming the Congress MLAs, on whose power we became the Chief Minister, Sonia Gandhi, with whose blessings we became the Chief Minister. You are criticizing him, defaming him, so after six months, won’t the public ask you questions? Such baseless allegations are not the introduction of serious politics.

On one side they are saying that the BJP government is toppling, on the other hand it is said that Vasundharaji is saving

Pilot said – The day before yesterday, the Chief Minister’s speech took place in Dholpur. After listening to that speech it seems that the leader of the Chief Minister is not Sonia Gandhi but her leader is Vasundhara Raje Scindia. On one hand it is being said that BJP was toppling our government, on the other hand it is said that Vasundharaji was doing the work of saving the government. This contradiction should be explained. What are you trying to say? This should be made clear.

Tried to act on me in sedition case, we wanted to change CM

Sachin said, you know, after the formation of the government, I was the Deputy Chief Minister and State President. In 2020, an attempt was made to take action against me in a sedition case. Many such cases happened. My friends and I wanted to change the leadership in the government and went to Delhi with our views. We kept our words. After that the All India Congress Committee discussed continuously and met everyone through Ahmed Patel. AICC formed a committee, in which Maken and Venu Gopal were members. That committee listened to all of us. After that committee, all of us continuously worked to strengthen the Congress, tried with all our heart and worked hard. The two-and-a-half-year tenure is a symbol of the fact that no one has ever done the work of breaking discipline.

I was called Corona, traitor, worthless, praising BJP leaders

The former deputy CM said, I was told a lot, till Corona, traitor useless. Been listening to these allegations for two and a half years, but we did not want to harm the image of our party and our government. This is not the first time that such a speech has been given. The work of insulting and defaming our MLAs and our leaders is going on. BJP leaders are being praised, it is beyond comprehension. This type of work is very wrong.

I categorically deny the baseless and false allegations

In the matter of going to Manesar, Pilot said, we all had gone to Delhi to keep our point. Accusations are being made against such people who have been in public life for the last 40 years, who have led an impeccable life, whose life has been an example. I was in Barmer three days ago. Hemaram Chowdhary has been an MLA since 1980, what is his image, what is his credibility, ask the people. Hemaram Chowdhary has donated land worth 100 crores to build a hostel in the memory of his late son. It is very wrong to accuse these people that they were sold for a few paise. I categorically deny these baseless and false allegations.

I am hopeless, I have come to know – why the action was not taken before, why will it not happen in the future?

Pilot said, I have been writing letters for the last one and a half years. During the tenure of Vasundhara Raje, we made allegations of serious corruption. Why are they not being investigated? Now I understand why the investigation has not happened till now? No action was taken even after writing my letter. I sat on a fast on 11th April for this demand. Now I am hopeless because facts are coming out, why action is not being taken and why it will not happen, this thing is also clear. That’s why I believe that the public is the God. I have raised my voice against corruption before and will continue to do so in the future.

Jan Sangharsh Yatra will reach Jaipur in five days

He said, whenever I talk about Vasundhara ji’s corruption, paper leak has put a question mark on the future of lakhs of children, there was no answer to that. That’s why I have decided to take out Jan Sangharsh Yatra from Ajmer from 11th May. This yatra is not against the government but against corruption. Paper leaked from Ajmer’s RPSC, so the journey will start from there. The journey will reach Jaipur from Ajmer in five days. The journey will be around 125 kms. Decisions will be taken when the public will be with us. This yatra is not against anyone but against corruption, it is in favor of the youth.

On the question of the next political step, many people want the Congress to be weak, but will not let it happen.

Pilot said, many people want the Congress to be weak, split. Attempts are being made to defame the MLAs and commit character assassination. Many people want to defame us, we will not allow this defamation to happen. The stand that we had earlier on public issues will continue in the future.

By defaming your MLAs, how will you ask for votes from the public?

Pilot said, after listening to the speech of the CM, I understood why that action was not taken? If we keep defaming our legislators, ministers and the government, then with what face will we go to the public to ask for votes. We will have to live up to the point of zero tolerance against corruption.

Pilot is raising the issue of corruption in every meeting, said- I will keep raising my voice

In Barmer on Saturday, Pilot again raised the issue of corruption in the BJP rule.

Sachin Pilot is continuously raising the issue of not taking action against the corruption of BJP rule. Pilot again raised the issue of corruption in the meeting organized on the occasion of the inauguration of the hostel built in the memory of the son of Minister Hemaram Chaudhary in Barmer.

Pilot had said that raising the issue of corruption under the BJP rule angered many people, but he did not care. I will keep raising my voice against corruption. The very next day, in Rajkheda of Dhaulpur, CM Gehlot accused the Pilot camp of taking money from Amit Shah. Now the war of words between the two leaders has intensified on this issue.

Sachin Pilot went on a fast at the Martyr’s Memorial in Jaipur on 11th April, raising the issue of not taking action against the corruption of the BJP rule. Just before Pilot’s fast, state in-charge Sukhjinder Randhawa issued a written statement calling it an anti-party activity. After this the dispute increased, then former CM of MP Kamal Nath spoke to Sachin Pilot and mediated. It was put on the backburner to calm the controversy over Pilot’s fast being termed as anti-party. Now the war of words has started intensifying again.
