Ashok Gehlot, former Chief Minister of Rajasthan, has publicly criticized his former deputy Sachin Pilot, reviving memories of Pilot's 2020 rebellion against the Congress party. During a recent speech, Gehlot suggested that Pilot has not learned from his past mistakes and continues to be viewed unfavorably by party members. Gehlot's comments included references to key events from 2020 and 2022, aiming to reinforce the perception that Pilot lacks support within the party. He expressed disappointment over Pilot's failure to acknowledge his assistance in Pilot's political career, framing their relationship as one of affection turned sour due to Pilot's actions. Gehlot's statements serve as a warning to the Congress high command regarding any potential elevation of Pilot within the party structure. In contrast, Pilot's supporters argue that his leadership significantly improved the party's performance in the 2018 elections. As tensions rise, the internal battle for influence within the Rajasthan Congress is set to intensify with the upcoming 2028 elections on the horizon.
