Interestingly, he has not been suspended or expelled from the party. So what is the road ahead for Pilot? But what triggered this?
Sachin Pilot the Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan has been miffed for a while now. In December 2018, Pilot felt he was the rightful claimant to the CM's post and lost out the Gehlot. Since there have been open disagreements between the two. Gehlot blamed Pilot for his son losing the Lok Sabha elections in 2019, while Pilot has openly criticized the law and order situation in the state. He even spoke against his own Government's handling of the situation in Kota were 100 infants died in a govt hospital. He has been complaining for a while that his loyalists have been denied important berths in the Cabinet and party posts and that he was not involved in the decision-making process. IN fact, even on the completion of the party's 1 year in power, Pilot was missing from the celebrations.
The final straw was a letter from the special operations group to record his statement over an alleged bid to topple the Congress government, making Pilot rebel and skip two CLP meetings that the party called for. Post those meetings; Pilot has been ousted from the party.
One thing is for certain, the Gehlot Vs Pilot, old guard Vs New guard problem has festered for a long time with the Party High Command has done precious little to resolve the crisis before it became a full-blown rebellion.
