In Rajasthan, the cold war continues between former CM Ashok Gehlot and National General Secretary and former Deputy CM Sachin Pilot. After Sachin Pilot’s statement given on Thursday (June 11), Ashok Gehlot’s reaction has also come to light. Ashok Gehlot stands firm on his statements related to Sachin Pilot. He said, “I spoke from my heart. Every situation was presented to the country through the media.”

He said, “If even Sachin Pilot had understood the essence of what I said, the situation would have been different today. The whole issue would have been over. Many people have understood what I wanted to say. Those who are not understanding, actually do not want to understand. However, they too will understand gradually.”

What did Gehlot say on the ongoing political tussle in Rajasthan?

Ashok Gehlot said on the ongoing tussle between Sachin Pilot and him in the state, “Every true Congressman will definitely understand my point. People who think in the interest of the country and Congress will definitely understand my point.” Regarding Sachin Pilot, Ashok Gehlot said, “I had not said anything wrong about him. Still, if he had any problem, he could have talked to me. He could have expressed his views to me.”

He further said, “If he talks, I will answer him.” Ashok Gehlot again reiterated that I wanted to become the National President of the Congress Party, but it was publicized about me that I did not want to become the President in order to remain the Chief Minister. However, he agreed with Sachin Pilot’s statement that he considered himself a son.

He said, “It is completely true that I consider the pilot like a son, no one should doubt it. I had said this earlier and he is telling me this later, but what I said on Sunday was completely correct and I stand by it. There is a misunderstanding in the minds of many people regarding this. That is why I tried to clear the picture while talking to the media.

I expressed my heart in front of people – Ashok Gehlot

While talking to the media in Jaipur, Ashok Gehlot said, “In Sunday’s statement, I had not made any allegations against anyone. I wanted to put before the country the incident that happened in 2020. This perception was created about me that I had not become the National President of the Congress Party to remain the Chief Minister. I am tired of giving clarification about this. That is why I had expressed my heart about this to the people.”

He further said, “It is wrong that I had rebelled to remain the Chief Minister. I myself also wanted to be the national president. An atmosphere was created against me within the party.” Without taking the name of Sachin Pilot, he said that at present everyone needs to strengthen the Congress Party. Everyone will have to work unitedly for the party. Everyone will have to unite to save democracy.

I thought this issue would end now – Ashok Gehlot

According to Ashok Gehlot, after Sunday’s statement I thought that this issue will now end. Even today I am saying that we will have to work on the policy of forgetting and forgiving. Those who have done wrong should apologize and others should forget the old things. This will be good for everyone and will be in the interest of the Congress Party. We have to remember to forgive and forget. That means forgive and forget.

While talking to the media today, Ashok Gehlot also reacted to the rejection of nomination of Meenakshi Natarajan and Sanjay Raut’s advice to those who left Congress and formed other parties to return home to Congress. On the issue of Meenakshi Natarajan, he said that BJP has started strangulating democracy.

He has supported Sanjay Raut’s statement by calling it correct. He also said that all opposition parties should now accept Rahul Gandhi as their leader and work unitedly. On the stampede in Trinamool Congress, he said that people are doing this out of fear.
