Rajasthan Congress Chief Calls Sachin Pilot’s Jan Sangharsh Yatra a “Personal Journey”

GG News Bureau

Jaipur, 12th May. Govind Singh Dotasara, president of the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee, called Sachin Pilot’s ‘Jan Sangharsh Yatra’ a “personal journey” with no political overtones.

Dotasara further stated that Pilot had not obtained prior permission from the All India Congress Committee (AICC) or the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC).

“It’s his (Sachin Pilot)’s personal Yatra (journey) and has nothing to do with the party. There was no prior permission sought by Pilot from the All India Congress Committee (AICC) or from Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) before the Yatra. The Yatra with the party’s logo, and photographs of party leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Mallika Arjun Kharge, can be called an official one,” Rajasthan PCC Chief said.

Dotasara while speaking to reporters at the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee office in Jaipur, said, “The matter will be taken up with the Party high command.”

Meanwhile, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, the AICC’s Rajasthan in-charge, has convened a meeting of state leaders in Delhi on Friday in the middle of the state’s continuous political upheaval.

According to sources, PCC chief Govind Singh Dotasara and three newly appointed Rajasthan co-in-charges would attend the meeting. The meeting is expected to cover current political developments as well as organizational difficulties.

Congress leader Sachin Pilot arrived in Ajmer on Thursday to conduct Jan Sangharsh Yatra in protest at the Rajasthan government’s inaction in the alleged corruption cases during the previous Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government in the state.

Talking to the media, ahead of the yatra, Pilot said, “We are here for the benefit of the people. We had promised a zero-tolerance against corruption and we still demand an investigation for the same. People have always chosen the one who stands by them and with them.”

Sachin Pilot started the five-day Jan Sangharsh Yatra from Ajmer to Jaipur on Thursday with the aim of raising a number of issues, including corruption.

Sachin Pilot will also make stops at several areas on his yatra. He has stated that he has received tremendous public support.

When asked why he is taking out the yatra against his own government earlier on Tuesday, Pilot said that he is simply raising his voice against “corruption.”

“I am not protesting against my government, but just raising my voice against corruption. When we had come to power, we had promised a zero-tolerance against corruption, but no investigation was done by this government,” he said.
