‘False news’: Pilot rebuts report that he complained to Cong bosses about Gehlot

Hindustan Times  

Congress leader and former deputy chief minister of Rajasthan Sachin Pilot on Tuesday refuted reports of him speaking with the party high command against CM Ashok Gehlot continuing to be in his current role. Sachin Pilot is seen as the leading face of becoming the next chief minister of Rajasthan if the Ashok Gehlot contests the upcoming Congress presidential elections. Taking to Twitter, Pilot responded to a report that said he told the Congress high command that Gehlot should not remain chief minister of Rajasthan if he decides to run for the party's presidential elections, and that it's the ex-deputy CM's responsibility to bring MLAs together. The crisis in the northern state that is pinned between the camps of Pilot and Gehlot intensified on Sunday evening when more than 90 MLAs skipped the Congress legislative party meeting at the chief minister's residence in the presence of party's central observers Ajay Maken and Mallikarjun Kharge.
