The infighting in the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government of Rajasthan is continuing since the beginning of the term of the assembly and it came to the surface once again, with Ashok Gehlot using very sharp language against former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot. During an interview with the news channel NDTV, Ashok Gehlot called Pilot a gaddar" (traitor) and said that the high command cannot make someone Chief Minister who betrayed the party.
A gaddar (traitor) cannot be a chief minister... the Congress high command cannot make Sachin Pilot the chief minister... a man who doesn't have 10 MLAs. Who revolted? He betrayed the party, (he) is a traitor," Gehlot said.
Ashok Gehlot's angst against Sachin Pilot is out in the open again. In one of the sharpest criticism of the fellow Congress leader, the Rajasthan chief minister on Thursday called Pilot a gaddar" (traitor), during an interview with NDTV.
A gaddar (traitor) cannot be chief minister... the Congress high command cannot make Sachin Pilot the chief minister... a man who doesn't have 10 MLAs. Who revolted. He betrayed the party, (he) is a traitor," Gehlot said.
