Sachin Pilot says MLAs whove been served notices for indiscipline should be told to file their replies, wants Mallikarjun Kharge to take action
Sachin Pilot has in the latest instalment of his rivalry with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that Congress MLAs in Rajasthan who revolted against the party must be punished. In what appears to be a new bid for his taking over as Chief Minister, he has said “It's time now to end the climate of indecision in Rajasthan.”
“Congress is an old party with the same rules for everyone, no matter how senior. I'm sure the new president, Mallikarjun Kharge, will take action,” he said. He also said that party observer KC Venugopal had said a decision on "the Rajasthan situation" will be taken soon too.
Mr Pilot, who had earlier said he'd speak after listening to his "inside voice", further said, "Observers took the situation in Rajasthan seriously. The party has said it was indiscipline. Three MLAs got notices. There should now be action."
He also noted that Mr Gehlot had apologised to the then party chief Sonia Gandhi for the defiance his loyalists showed.
