Sachin Pilot Suggests Potential Change in Face for Next Polls, Ashok Gehlot’s Role Questioned

Sachin Pilot, a prominent Congress leader, expressed his belief that with additional efforts, the party could have clinched victory in the Rajasthan Assembly elections. Speaking at the Lokmat National Conclave, he acknowledged the party’s strong fight in Rajasthan but lamented their failure to secure a win.

Pilot highlighted the significance of candidate selection, noting that many sitting ministers lost their seats, suggesting that different choices might have yielded better results. Despite his past differences with former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Pilot assured that these disagreements did not impact the election outcome, emphasizing that he and Gehlot had resolved their issues.

Regarding the future leadership of the party in Rajasthan, Pilot remarked that the next election is five years away, implying that discussions about potential changes in leadership are premature.

He also emphasized the importance of respecting and empowering party workers, suggesting that a lack of acknowledgment and involvement of these workers may have contributed to the party’s shortcomings.

On the topic of Congress leaders’ absence from the Ram temple consecration, Pilot defended the right to personal religious practice while cautioning against politicizing religion for gain. He noted that the construction of the temple followed a Supreme Court decision and emphasized the importance of separating state and religion.

Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s criticism of dynastic politics within the Congress, Pilot dismissed it as an obsession, expressing disappointment that Modi’s final speech of the Lok Sabha focused on the Congress rather than addressing broader issues concerning women and youth. He urged for a more inclusive and forward-looking discourse in political rhetoric.
