Hello
Time and again, Pilot's MLAs have been targetting their own government. The top leadership of the party in Delhi has been upset with this.
Pilot, who was removed from the posts of deputy CM and state Congress president when he and 18 other MLAs rebelled against Gehlot, expressed satisfaction with the reshuffle.
The Congress High Command has made all ministers of the Ashok Gehlot government of Rajasthan resign.
The new cabinet will see 12 new faces, including five from the Pilot camp.
The strength of the Ashok Gehlot cabinet was 21 before the ministers resigned.
Before leaving for Delhi, Pilot met Rajasthan Speaker CP Joshi which led to speculation being rife that Pilot was busy making his camp stronger.
Rajasthan in-charge Ajay Maken last Thursday announced at a press conference in Delhi that the roadmap is ready for a cabinet expansion and organisational rejig in the state.
Followers of Sachin Pilot who rebelled against Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot are waiting for more than a year for a resolution of their conflict.
Even though the BJP has rejected the charge, things do not seem to be smooth after rebellion by a section of Congress led by then Deputy CM and Rajasthan Congress unit chief Sachin Pilot in July this year.
Even during his addresses in Madhya Pradesh at Scindia-influenced districts namely Gwalior, Shivpuri, Bhind and Morena, Pilot refrained from criticising Scindia directly but ensured that he endorsed the Congress candidates in the region strongly.
