Will Sachin Pilot will become the new Chief Minister of Rajasthan?
Kumari Jagriti Sourya, 23 September,3022
The son of former Union minister late Rajesh Pilot and ex-Congress MP Rama Pilot, Sachin Pilot studied at some renowned institutions in India and abroad. Currently, he is also a captain in the Territorial army.
Sachin Pilot wears many hats. One of the Congress’ mass leaders, he looks as comfortable in television studios as he is among a horde of locals in the remotest part of Rajasthan.
On the cusp of assuming control from Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot now, Sachin, 45, had sat tight for this second for almost 10 years. After indicating his inclination to keep both the Congress president’s post and the chief ministership, Gehlot appears to have respected the party’s high command, which is said to be keen on ensuring the pilot’s elevation as the CM
In the 2013 Rajasthan Assembly election, the then Gehlot-drove administering Congress was annihilated, plunging to only 21 seats in the 200-member House – its most awful presentation of all time. In January 2014, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) authority selected Pilot as the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee (RPCC) president.
In the 2018 Assembly poll, when the Congress figured out how to stir things up around the halfway mark, bagging 100 seats, it was widely attributed to the pilot’s leadership and hard work. The AICC administration chose to surrender the CM mantle to Gehlot, in a move that upset Pilot, who was appointed as the Deputy CM..
Rajesh Pilot’s unexpected demise in a road accident in 2000 pushed Sachin to venture out into politics. Pilot Senior used to address the Dausa Lok Sabha seat and after his demise, his wife Rama turned into the MP from there during 2001-2004.
Sachin contested his first election from Dausa in the 2004 Lok Sabha election and won the seat. At 26 then, at that point, he was the country’s youngest MP. That same year, he also wedded Sara, the daughter of Jammu and Kashmir CM Farooq Abdullah. Sachin and Sara have two sons.
