Why Ashok Gehlot's 156-seat goal in the Rajasthan polls targets Sachin Pilot more than the BJP

India Today  

The Congress in Rajasthan has set itself a target of winning 156 of the 200 seats in the assembly polls later this year. The goal is commendable because chief minister Ashok Gehlot could manage only 56 assembly seats for his party in 2003 and 21 in 2013 while in power. The simple majority mark in the Rajasthan assembly election is 101 and Gehlot could become chief minister when his party got 96 seats in 2008 and 100 in 2018. Analysts say Gehlot’s Republic Day talk with the media about winning 156 seats was aimed more at rival Sachin Pilot than the BJP. Pilot has held the grudge that the Congress high command, in 2018, chose Gehlot over him for chief ministership despite the latter’s poor track record in winning polls as chief minister.
