"One Engine Failed In Himachal, 2nd In Karnataka": Sachin Pilot Mocks BJP

NDTV caught up with Sachin Pilot on the campaign trail to discuss the Rajasthan election and Congress' game-plan, and his relationship with Ashok Gehlot.

Three years ago, Congress leader and ex-Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot made headlines - for leading a rebellion that nearly brought down his party's government in the state.Fast-forward to today and an energetic Mr Pilot is on the frontlines of a re-election bid, fighting (in apparent lock-step) with Chief Minister and long-time rival Ashok Gehlot, to ensure the Congress trumps the BJP and retains power in a state that has not voted for an incumbent in three decades.

NDTV caught up with Sachin Pilot on the campaign trail - as he jumped in and out of helicopters - to discuss the November 25th election and the Congress' game-plan, and his relationship with Mr Gehlot.

"Double engine... double engine. What double engine?" Mr Pilot thundered at one rally, making pointed swipes at the BJP's promise of development for states that vote for the saffron party in both Lok Sabha and Assembly polls, "One engine failed in Himachal Pradesh... another in Karnataka."
