Fishing in troubled waters of Rajasthan politics where Deputy Chief Minister and PCC chief Sachin Pilot is signalling a revolt over differences with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia on Sunday claimed that like him Pilot too has been “sidelined” by the Congress leadership which kills talents.
Rajasthan politics has been in the flux over last few weeks with the ruling Congress in the State charging that BJP is trying to topple the Gehlot Government and replicating the Madhya Pradesh model where Scindia recently broke away with around 22 MLAs loyal to him and made way for the ouster of the Kamal Nath Government. Scindia who joined BJP in March, this year, after quitting as Congress General Secretary took pot shots at the Congress leadership for “sidelining Sachin Pilot” in preference to Gehlot and thus ignoring “merit”, he said.
Tweeting on the current political situation in Rajasthan, he said, “Sad to see my erstwhile colleague, Sachin too, being sidelined and persecuted by Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
“Shows that talent and capability find little credence in the Congress,” said Scindia.
After Scindia resigned from the Congress, he had alleged that the incumbent Congress leadership is immune to suggestions and does not care for the merit.
