Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot recently opened up about his relationship with Sachin Pilot, claiming he played a crucial role in Pilot's appointment to the Union Cabinet, yet feels hurt by Pilot's lack of acknowledgment. Gehlot expressed that a simple recognition of his support would have strengthened their bond. He addressed the so-called 'Manesar rebellion,' stating it was an internal matter and not a revolt against the Congress High Command. Gehlot criticized media narratives that portray Pilot as a potential candidate for higher positions, arguing that such speculation harms Pilot's reputation. Despite their political differences, Gehlot emphasized that he holds no personal grudges against Pilot, whom he regards fondly. He urged Congress leaders to unite in the face of national challenges, reaffirming loyalty to the party's leadership, particularly the Gandhis. Gehlot also revisited the 2022 presidential election discussions, hinting at a conspiracy that led to misunderstandings regarding his political ambitions. He called for a focus on party unity and collective action to strengthen the Congress party's position.
