All eyes on Sachin Pilot who is awaiting Sonia’s decision

The Hindu  

After Sunday’s events in Jaipur, all eyes are on former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot who has maintained a studied silence, and as per sources, is now awaiting the final judgment by Congress President Sonia Gandhi before deciding the future course of action. While the pro-Gehlot camp marched 92 MLAs that included many independents, Mr. Pilot’s support has further depleted with at least four of the 18 MLAs who stood by him in the July 2020 rebellion also submitting resignation papers. She said that at first she was invited for the Congress Legislature Party meeting at the Chief Minister’s residence which was scheduled for 7 p.m. In July 2020, when he first raised a rebellion staking claim for the Chief Minister’s post, he could gather only 18 MLAs and this time around, even those 18 didn’t stick around.
