"First Take Out Congress Jodo Yatra": AAP On Rajasthan Crisis
NDTV
The Congress in Rajasthan plunged into a crisis on Sunday as several MLAs loyal to Mr Gehlot threatened to resign over a possible move to appoint Sachin Pilot as Mr Gehlot's successor.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday took a swipe at the Congress over the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and said it should first take a 'Congress Jodo Yatra' instead of continuing with its 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led party also said Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot over the ongoing political drama, saying the two Congress leaders in their "struggle for power" have made "a mockery" of the people's mandate.
"On one hand, the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' of Congress is in progress, and on the other, the MLAs of the party in Rajasthan are running 'Vidhayak Todo Karyakram' (programme to divide legislators)," AAP's election in-charge for Rajasthan Vinay Mishra told Press Trust of India.
"Instead of 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', the Congress should first take out 'Congress Jodo Yatra' (a march to bring unity in party)," he added.
