Sachin Pilot Removed As Dy CM Of Rajasthan As He Snubs Second Congress Meet
Congress has sacked Sachin Pilot from the post of deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan and as the president of the Rajsthan Pradesh Congress Committee, after the disgruntled party leader decided to give another snub to the party’s high-level legislative party meeting, despite open invitation and repeated coaxing by Congress top-brass including Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
INC spokesperson Randeep Surjewala alleged that Pilot and his loyalists have fallen in the trap of BJP and have worked towards disintegrating the existing government in the state. He announced that Govind Singh Dotasra has been appointed in Pilot’s place.
The party workers at Congress office were quick to remove Pilot’s nameplate and replace it with that of Govind Singh.
Reacting to the move, and apparently his first ever public response ever since the tiff with Gehlot, Pilot tweeted that truth cannot be defeated.
Two other ministers Vishwendra Singh and Ramesh Meena have been removed from their posts. Party’s state unit secretary Rajesh Kumawat also stepped down in solidarity with Pilot.
As the crisis in Rajasthan politics deepened further, the Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot skipped the second Congress Party meeting scheduled in Jaipur on Tuesday. Even as the grand old party has called the minister to attend the meet in its effort to placate him but skipping the meet only sent a strong signal to the Congress that the young leader was not in any mood to budge.
