Gehlot-Pilot controversy on agenda

Piecemeal from a cabinet rejig, the meeting will also talk over the Gehlot- Pilot disputation, as per sources. Sachin Pilot’s brief rebellion had left the Congress party rattled in 2020. The leader had departed to Delhi with some of his supporting lawmakers on July 11, 2020. He’d claimed’ step-maternal ‘treatment being allocated out to his body. 

Following his departure, the Congress Legislative Party in Rajasthan passed a resolution unanimously supporting the state government led by Ashok Gehlot, after which Pilot was sacked as the Deputy CM and the RPCC chief. 

After a series of hyperactive parlays, primarily held by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Pilot harmonized with Congress. The three-member panel decided to address his grievances. 

The Rajasthan crisis, and before that Jyotiraditya Scindia’s departure, has also challenged the notion that only the Gandhi family can hold together the Congress when ambitious leaders try to pull it in different directions. 

Let’s get a deeper understanding of the situation. 

With regards to Rajasthan, one’s necessity is to return to previous occasions to comprehend the turf war that is playing out at this point.  

To begin with, how about we slice to the Congress Working Council (CWC) meeting on May 25 last year when previous party president Rahul Gandhi erupted at some senior chiefs who were ‘just keen on’ guaranteeing the success of their youngsters in the Lok Sabha political race. Mr Gehlot was at the receiving end as his child, Vaibhav, similar to previous Madhya Pradesh Boss Clergyman Kamal Nath’s child, was challenged from the Jodhpur seat. 

The Chief Minister’s child not just lost the Lok Sabha survey by an enormous degree to the BJP’s Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, presently at the core of the sound break debate, yet the Congress scored nil in a state where it had come to control only five months before the overall political race. 

And, the Congress had picked Mr Gehlot over Mr Pilot as Boss Clergyman fundamentally on account of his “experience” to convey a decent presentation in the Lok Sabha survey.  

Presently, we should rewind to January 2014 when Mr Pilot, then, at that point, an Association Pastor, was designated the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Council boss. Pretty much a month before his arrangement, the Congress under Mr Gehlot lost the 2013 Get together survey. 

The outcomes had just repeated the State’s set of experiences of choosing another administration at regular intervals; however, the edge of misfortune stressed the Congress. The party was diminished to 21 MLAs, its least count in numerous years. In this way, the authority chose to infuse some youthful blood and crisp reasoning. 

Beginning of PM Narendra Modi’s Era. 

The Narendra Modi wave had cleared out the Congress in the 2014 Lok Sabha survey; however, Mr Pilot kept on oozing certainty by winning the ensuing Get-together by-poll, panchayat survey lastly, winning the by-polls to two Lok Sabha seats, Ajmer and Alwar, in February 2018. Mr Pilot was the hand-picked individual of the Gandhi’s who was shared with win back the party’s help base in the Get together political race.
