The former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan made these remarks during the third day of his 'Jan Sangharsh Yatra' in Ajmer's Zisani on Friday.
Speaking to ANI, Mr. Pilot said, "Congress has the majority. We will have a thumping victory. The slogan of '40 per cent commission government' given by us, was accepted by the public. It was a major issue raised by us to defeat BJP. People accepted it and gave the majority to the Congress".
Notably "40% commission government" was a political jibe used by Congress against the ruling BJP alleging several corruption charges under its tenure.
Mr. Pilot is holding the five-day Jan Sangharsh Yatra from Ajmer to Jaipur. During this, he will stop at different locations.
He started the yatra on Thursday in protest against the inaction of the Rajasthan government in the alleged corruption cases during the previous Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government in the State.
