The video post assumes significance as the Pilot-Gehlot power tussle has found frequent mention in the campaigning for the Rajasthan Assembly polls with the Prime Minister also referring to it.
Mr. Gehlot posted the 1.51 minute video of Mr. Pilot on his social media platforms X, Facebook and Instagram.
In the video, Mr. Pilot is seen making an appeal to people to vote for the Congress, saying the feedback, public response and inclination of the voters clearly shows that his party is going to again form the government in the State.
“We have held hundreds of meetings as part of the election campaign but there are some areas where we have not been able to reach even after trying, hence my humble appeal to you is to take everyone along, to maintain the pace of development of the State. To maintain the Congress' way of functioning, it is necessary that we forget all the things and press the button on the hand symbol and make all the Congress candidates win,” he said.
“I want to appeal to make Congress candidates win in all the assembly constituencies where I have not been able to go,” Mr. Pilot said.
He continued that the victory will be the victory of the people of Congress. “We will not let BJP's plan to stop the Congress government's schemes after forming the government succeed,” he added.
The Opposition Congress demanded that the government open the Gandhi Vatika Museum, depicting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and freedom struggle, built at a cost of ₹85 crore in Jaipur’s Central Park last year, during the Congress-led regime in Rajasthan. The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
