Pali (Rajasthan):

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot attacked his rival Sachin Pilot in an exclusive interview with NDTV.

According to him, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Dharmendra Pradhan were also involved in the rebellion that Sachin Pilot did to reverse the Rajasthan government. 

The desire of the party high command to remove Ashok Gehlot from the post of Chief Minister of Rajasthan and make him the national president of the Congress was opposed in Rajasthan.

When Ashok Gehlot was asked about this, it was being said that the MLAs were loyal to you and were rebelling at your behest?

He said, "This is utter nonsense.

People know me, the whole country knows what my nature is.

Congress party and Gandhi family have supported me continuously for 50 years... I will be the only one in the country, from NSUI till today, I became Member of Parliament for five times, Union Minister three times, General Secretary of AICC three times, CM three times.

Why did I need to rebel, these people gave me everything.        

That is, you are saying that whatever happened, it did not happen because of your saying?

On the question, Ashok Gehlot said, "The question itself does not arise.

Tell even one MLA, I should leave the post." On the question of the displeasure of the MLAs, he said, "They got angry because it was spread that Sachin would make Pilot the Chief Minister.

He (Sachin Pilot) himself also behaved like this.

He telephoned many places.

The situation has become such that the legislators felt that a one-line proposal would come and the oath would be taken tomorrow.

Everyone gathered because of this confusion.  


What was the objection if Sachin Pilot became the CM?

In response to the question, Gehlot said, "Because of which we sat in the hotel for 34 days, they were toppling the government."

Amit Shah was also involved in that, Dharmendra Pradhan was also involved.

Everyone's meeting was being held in Delhi.

Some of our MLAs had gone.

People stayed in the resort for 34 days.

He was kept in the same resort where the MLA from Madhya Pradesh had gone.
