Sachin Pilot News / First Danish, then Pratap... what equation is Sachin Pilot setting in Rajasthan?

Sachin Pilot News: First shared the stage with Danish Abrar and then went to see Pratap Singh Khachariyawas's mother.. Sachin Pilot's political stand on Monday in the political corridors of Rajasthan is a matter of headlines. The reason is - the previous rivalry between Sachin Pilot with Abrar and Pratap Khachariyawas. In 2020, due to resort politics, the distance between Pilot with Abrar and Khachariyawas had increased considerably. Its effect was also seen on the political career of these leaders.

When Abrar and Khachariyawas lost the elections, Pilot distanced himself from Rajasthan politics, but now the way Pilot is mingling with these leaders, the discussion has started that why is Pilot increasing his rapport with his old close ones again?

Danish raised slogans of Pilot Zindabad

Former MLA Danish Abrar also came to Rajesh Pilot's statue installation program in Bonli, Sawai Madhopur on Monday. When Abrar got a chance to speak, he first asked Sachin Pilot to end his resentment. After this, Abrar started raising slogans of Pilot Zindbar from the stage.

Abrar was once considered a close leader of Pilot in Rajasthan, but after the resort politics of 2020, there was a distance between the two. Pilot supporters allege that when Sachin surrounded the Gehlot government on issues, Abrar turned back.

Abrar was then out of the Pilot camp. In the 2023 assembly elections, Abrar did get a ticket from Sawai Madhopur, but Pilot did not hold any rally in his support. Abrar kept roaming from Delhi to Jaipur to hold a meeting with Pilot.

The effect of these distances was also seen on Abrar's election result. Abrar lost badly on the Sawai Madhopur seat, that too when this seat is dominated by Gujjars and Muslims. Abrar was in the political background since the defeat.

Met Khachariyawas, were all the grievances resolved?

Sachin Pilot on Monday evening visited the mother of former minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas admitted in the hospital. Khachariyawas has also shared a post on social media regarding this. Before 2020, Khachariyawas was counted as Pilot's trusted leader.

When the government came to power in Rajasthan in 2018, Khachariyawas was made a minister from Pilot quota. He was given the command of the powerful transport department, but after resort politics in 2020, the distance between Khachariyawas and Pilot increased.

In the 2023 elections, Khachariyawas contested from the Civil Lines seat, but he did not get victory. Khachariyawas was given a ticket by the Congress from Jaipur Lok Sabha in 2024, but this time too he could not win. Khachariyawas was sidelined since then.

Now the question is- which equation is Pilot fitting?

At a Congress event in Jaipur, Sachin Pilot's comment in response to a taunt by Govind Singh Dotasara, 'Now I don't know who is going to sit on whose chair' went viral. After this comment, the way Pilot is wooing old leaders has started a discussion about what equation is Pilot preparing in Rajasthan?

Pilot is currently the National General Secretary of Congress and has the charge of Chhattisgarh, but he has said many times that he wants to do politics in Rajasthan only. It is being said that Pilot has his eyes on the chair of the state president, but Dotasara remains a challenge for him.

Till now, there were only 2 factions openly within the Congress in Rajasthan. One of Ashok Gehlot and the other of Sachin Pilot, but after the Lok Sabha elections, state president Govind Singh Dotasara has become stronger. In the coming times, if he gets more established on the chair, then it will not be easy to sideline him. There are 2 reasons for this-

1. Govind Singh Dotasara comes from the Jat community and its population in Rajasthan is about 10 percent, which is almost double the population of Sachin Pilot's Gurjar community. Dotasara is very popular in Shekhawati, the stronghold of Jats.

2. Govind Singh Dotasara also has the support of Ashok Gehlot. In 2020, on the request of Ashok Gehlot, the high command handed over the chair of president to Dotasara. Dotasara was a minister in the Gehlot government at that time.
