BJP's Radha Agarwal questions Pilot's loyalty towards Cong, Gehlot responds

JAIPUR: (Apr 27) BJP Rajasthan in-charge Radha Mohan Das Agarwal targeted Congress leader and Tonk MLA Sachin Pilot on Monday, questioning his political loyalty and claiming, "he keeps one foot in the party while the other rests somewhere else."

In response to Agarwal's remarks, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot asserted that both of Pilot's feet are firmly planted in the Congress party, and will remain there.

Pilot, who served as deputy chief minister in Gehlot's previous Congress government, had rebelled against Gehlot's leadership in 2021, along with 18 other Congress MLAs. The rebellion led to a political crisis in the state, which was resolved through the intervention of party leadership. Gehlot had alleged that it was a conspiracy orchestrated by the BJP to topple his government, using Pilot and other MLAs as pawns.
