Sachin Pilot : After the defeat of Congress, factionalism in the party is likely to intensify again. Sachin Pilot, while demanding brainstorming on the defeat of Congress, has raised questions on not changing the customs. On the statement of CM's OSD Lokesh Sharma, Sachin Pilot said- I have seen the statement of the Chief Minister's advisor. The statement he has given is surprising. That is because the statement is from the Chief Minister's OSD. It is also a matter of concern. There is full hope that the party will pay attention somewhere as to why this was said? What is true, what is false?


Pilot said- We wanted the government to be formed again. For this, we all worked as hard as we could, yet we could not succeed. The reasons for this have to be found.


have to introspect

Sachin Pilot said- Our government could not be formed in the results of the assembly elections. We tried very hard to break the tradition, despite making every effort we could not succeed. Certainly this is a matter of concern. Every time after forming a government, we are not able to repeat it. This time the same thing happened again. We all regret this. We will have to introspect on this.


Congress's vote percentage is more than BJP's in all four states.

Pilot said- The workers worked hard. Fought the election well. There is a meeting of the legislative party on Tuesday. What will be the party's strategy in that regard? We all wanted Congress government to be formed in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. If the Congress party had won in all these three, we would have got a lot of strength. Despite the defeat, if we look at the figures of all three states, our vote percentage is more than BJP.


Will force BJP to fulfill the promises made to the public

Pilot said - The aim of all of us was to repeat the government in Rajasthan, but we will have to do a very honest self-analysis about it and find out where the shortcomings remain, because there are Lok Sabha elections in the coming time, that is a big challenge in front of us. . In this entire campaign, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Kharge Saheb all worked with full force and campaigned, yet we could not form the government. We will work as a strong opposition and will force the incoming government to fulfill the promises made and will work as the voice of the people.


we have to go back among the people

Pilot said- We will have to go back among the public. To stand the test of the public, we will have to take steps on what strategy to make, how to convey the message to the public, how to re-infuse energy among the workers. There is very little time. So very soon we will have to discuss. Whatever I have to say, I will say on the party platform.


On the question of losing due to new faces not getting responsibility in the party, Pilot said - Whatever I had said, I had said on the party platform. I will speak on the party platform in future also. Our responsibility today is that the public has given us the mandate to sit in the opposition. The decision of public opinion is final. We should respect him. The public has given us the responsibility of sitting in the opposition. We have done this well before also. Will continue to do so in future too. Lok Sabha elections are not far. Therefore, whatever we have to say on the party platform, we will say it.


Gehlot's OSD had said- CM betrayed the high command

CM Ashok Gehlot's OSD Lokesh Sharma had made harsh comments on Gehlot, holding him responsible for the defeat of Congress. Lokesh Sharma also held Gehlot responsible for the September 25 incident and even accused him of betraying the high command. Lokesh Sharma wrote on social media – I am definitely hurt by the results, but not surprised. The Congress Party could undoubtedly have changed the customs in Rajasthan, but Ashok Gehlot never wanted any change. This is not the defeat of Congress but of Ashok Gehlot ji. The party fought the elections under Gehlot's leadership, giving him a free hand. According to him, he himself was contesting elections on every seat. Lokesh Sharma wrote – Neither his experience nor magic worked and like every time, Congress did not win with the help of his plans. Nor did the immense pink publicity (hoardings related to the schemes were put up in pink colour) work. While being CM for the third consecutive time, Gehlot once again brought the party to the margins. Till date, he has only taken from the party, but Gehlot was never able to bring the party back to power during his tenure.


The incident of September 25 was completely sponsored

Lokesh Sharma also targeted the rebellion of Gehlot camp MLAs on September 25 and wrote - The incident of September 25 was also completely sponsored. When contempt was committed by rebelling against the high command. The game had started from that very day.
