AGENCIES / JAIPUR
The Congress today sacked Sachin Pilot as the deputy chief minister of Rajasthan for his revolt against the party as he skipped the second meeting of MLAs in two days. Two ministers who joined him in his revolt have also been dropped.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said Sachin Pilot was “ensnared” by the BJP to bring down the Congress government in Rajasthan. “We have given Sachin Pilot many opportunities. He has been an MP and MoS and a state party president. I am sad that Sachin Pilot and some of his colleagues have fallen for a trap laid by the BJP. This is unacceptable,” he said.

‘This Conspiracy Was Going on for 6 Months’: CM Gehlot | “Finally, party high command had to take a decision….This conspiracy was going on for almost 6 months now. BJP is indulging in horse trading across the country. This is not good for democracy,” says Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot. Gehlot added that 30 MLAs cannot form a party as there is anti-defection law in India.
