Sachin Pilot, say sources, has warned his Congress bosses that any delay in a change of guard in Rajasthan will lead to a repeat of Punjab.
Congress leader Sachin Pilot has told Sonia Gandhi that he wants to be the Chief Minister of Rajasthan "without delay", with more than a full year to the state elections, to ensure the party's return to power, sources say.
If not, Sachin Pilot has reportedly told Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Rajasthan may be lost in the same way as Punjab, where Charanjit Singh Channi's eleventh-hour appointment as Chief Minister proved to be an epic fail in the election.
Sachin Pilot has had three meetings with all three Gandhis in the past weeks, say sources.
Elections are due in Rajasthan in December 2023. Mr Pilot, say sources, has warned his bosses that any delay in a change of guard will lead to a repeat of Punjab.
