Image Source: PTI The saga of Gehlot vs Pilot continues
Looks like the power tussle between Ashok Gehlot and his arch-rival Sachin Pilot is not going to subside as the Rajasthan CM has once again attacked his former deputy.
A video has surfaced in which the chief minister is purportedly saying that a ‘big corona’ has come in the party after the pandemic.
Gehlot is believed to have allegedly compared the pilot to the coronavirus.
The video is of Gehlot’s pre-budget meeting with employees union representatives on Wednesday.
Responding to a participant during the meeting, Gehlot said without naming anyone, “I have started meeting…first Corona came…a big corona entered our party too.”
He said that despite the by-elections or Rajya Sabha elections, the government has brought excellent schemes with the cooperation of the employees.
Gehlot’s remarks are being seen as a response to Pilot’s repeated attacks on his government.
In his daily public meetings since Monday in various districts, Pilot has been targeting the state government on the issues of paper leak, sidelining of party workers and political appointments to retired bureaucrats.
Since the formation of the Congress government in December 2018, Gehlot and Pilot have been at loggerheads over power and it is a big challenge for the party to fix it before the 2023 assembly elections.
