Becoming the chief minister is not important for any congress leader in rajasthan and the top priority remains winning this month’s assembly election, congress leader sachin pilot in an exclusive interview. He dismissed talks of the lack of a joint campaign by him and cm Ashok Gehlot and instead said that the bharatiya janata party has much to answer for and its top state leader was “sulking".
Reports accompanied the former deputy cm on his campaign on monday from jaipur during which he took on prime minister Narendra Modi who said on sunday that Gehlot and Pilot had only tried “to run each other out" since 2018. Pilot told News18 that the PM should instead talk about the confusion in his party and took a dig at Vasundhara Raje. He said a photo op was not important when it came to the question of a joint campaign. Pilot said that he respected Gehlot who had made “balanced statements" lately. He said it was important for the congress to win three or four states that are going to polls so that the party is in a position to beat the bjp in 2024. Pilot told that the bjp was running a “negative campaign" in rajasthan, copying and re-packaging congress schemes and shifting focus to “mandir-masjid" issues.
The congress has performed well in the two states where polling has happened madhya pradesh and Chhattisgarh. In rajasthan also, we will break the trend. From comments of the top leadership of bjp, it is clear that they have very little to offer to the people of rajasthan, so all they are doing is accusing, alleging, pointing fingers, and unable to tell what they will do for the people of the state.
