With all the drama happening in Rajasthan politics, it is clear that The Indian National Congress is in a self-destructive mode. In a huge setback to the Congress party, one of the most promising leader Sachin Pilot has been sacked as the Rajasthan deputy chief minister. Pilot’s two key aides were also dropped from the state cabinet. In their official statement, Congress confirmed this news. The party accused him of conspiring with BJP saying that Mr. Sachin wanted to topple the government in Rajasthan.
The disciplinary action was taken after Sachin Pilot revolted against the party and skipped the Congress legislature meeting despite repeated attempts by its top leaders to convince him to end his dispute with chief minister Ashok Gehlot.
“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,” Said Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala.
Slamming Mr Pilot ,Rajastha CM Ashok Ghelot said to mediaperson, ” There is nothing in Sachin Pilot’s hands, it is the BJP which is running the show. BJP has arranged that resort and they are managing everything. The same team which worked in Madhya Pradesh is at work here.”
Meanwhile, in his first response to the public after being sacked, Sachin tweeted that ‘truth can be disturbed not defeated’. He also removed Congress mention from his Twitter account.
सत्य को परेशान किया जा सकता है पराजित नहीं।

Ashok Gehlot and the Congress unit in Rajasthan were less pacific towards Sachin Pilot and called for strict disciplinary action against anyone who indulges in activities against the Congress party.
