Pilot targets Gehlot over his claim that some BJP leaders helped save the Congress government in Rajasthan during 2020 rebellion

The Hindu  

Congress leader and former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Tuesday targeted Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over his claim that some BJP leaders had helped save his government during the 2020 rebellion. Pilot said it seemed Mr. Gehlot’s “real leader” was the BJP’s Vasundhara Raje rather than his own party’s Sonia Gandhi. Mr. Gehlot had also accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of paying crores of rupees to the rebel Congress MLAs as part of “horse trading” and asked them to return the money to him. Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhwat, who was also accused of joining the conspiracy to topple the government, said the BJP was exploring legal options to challenge Mr. Gehlot’s claim.
