Here, before these elections, a political stir has started in the Rajasthan Congress. Supporters who were with Sachin Pilot during the political crisis are now again demanding to make him the CM. They have started making statements in support of Pilot again and again by arguing that they have been working without any post for two years.A day before Pilot's birthday, the crowd of supporters gathered in Jaipur has also given many political signals. Supporting legislators have also started openly raising their voice in favor of Pilot.Pilot's next role in the party is likely to be decided after the election of the national president. Before this, a round of political counterattack has started between the camps of Sachin Pilot and CM Ashok Gehlot in Rajasthan Congress.Political attacks and counter-attacks between the Gehlot-pilot camps have continued throughout the last year. This camp is likely to intensify further as both the camps are not ready to back down on their stand.trying to woo legislatorsIn the Congress, the pilot camp is constantly trying to woo the disgruntled MLAs to their side. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has kept a hold on the supporting MLAs till now and has proved that hold till now, from the Rajya Sabha elections to the voting opportunities.Here, the pilot supporters and some strategists are of the opinion that the support of the MLAs depends on the behest of the high command, so the party MLAs who will be commanded by the high command will be there. However, it is yet to be tested in the context of Rajasthan.Biggest bet on government repeat, debate on this issue tooSachin Pilot and his supporters are raising the issue of no repeat government in Rajasthan after 1989 elections. Sachin Pilot had given a statement recently that his aim is to repeat the government in Rajasthan.Congress government has been repeated in many states, so why can't it be in Rajasthan. In the remaining time, we have to do something different. These statements of the pilot are being linked to the campaign of CM Face itself. As Gehlot's CM, the Congress has had to face defeat badly in the elections twice. Pilot camp is raising this political truth again and again and making an issue.For two years, the pilot did not have any post in the government organizationHe was sacked from the post of Deputy CM and Congress State President after the revolt of Sachin Pilot camp in July 2020. Since then, he has not held any post in the party and government. Referring to the report of the Conciliation Committee, Sachin supporters are now raising the demand to give him the post.There is an election in Rajasthan after 14 months, Congress has a formidable challenge of getting good seats in the assembly elections and Lok Sabha elections. Citing this factor, now a campaign has been started to give responsibility to Sachin Pilot.Trying to garner the support of MLAsSachin Pilot himself and the leaders of his camp are constantly active, the pro-Pilot leaders are sure that soon the high command will give him the responsibility. Sachin Pilot has continuously met the MLAs for the last few months.The political motive of these meetings held in secret is being told. Increasing interaction with legislators is being linked to garnering support. Pilot has raised the issue of need to work towards repeating the government continuously from political fora.But, pilot's lesson, respect all leadersPilot has given political signals in a program of Dalit society in Dausa district two days ago by advising his supporters to respect all the leaders. Pilot's supporters had hooted women and child development minister Mamta Bhupesh. After this incident, Pilot has asked the supporters to respect all the leaders. It is said that the supporters have been asked to behave restrained so that the wrong message is not sent.Two big signs of political confrontationOn August 15, Gehlot took a jibe at the pilot regarding the honor of the workers.A year ago, Sachin Pilot raised the issue of giving honor to the workers who shed blood and sweat while staying in the opposition. Gehlot had fiercely targeted the Congress program on Martyrs' Day on August 15 on this statement of Pilot.Gehlot had said- Our leaders instigate the workers. Workers should be respected, nowadays it has become a jumla. Hey, have you done respect to the workers, have you ever? Do you even know, what happens, the respect and respect of the workers? We have become leaders from workers as soon as we get respect and respect.Here, the pilot surrounded the government in the Jalore caseThe clash between Gehlot and the pilot camps has been going on for quite some time now. This conflict is increasing. Sachin Pilot fiercely surrounded the state government in the case of the death of a Dalit student due to the beating of a teacher in Surana, Jalore. Pilots have also raised questions about the rate of increase in crime in Rajasthan in the NCRB report. It is being linked to the increasing conflict.
