Team Sachin Pilot

Rajasthan minister Rajender Singh Guda was responding to Ashok Gehlot openly calling Sachin Pilot a "gaddar" (traitor) for the first time, in an interview with NDTV.

Congress's Sachin Pilot has played down the remarks of a loyalist who threatened to oppose the Bharat Jodo Yatra if he was not made the Chief Minister. Mr Pilot lost his second shot at the job recently.

Just before his Bharat Jodo Yatra enters Congress-ruled Rajasthan, Rahul Gandhi has been served a sharp reminder of the festering power struggle in the state between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his rival Sachin Pilot.

Sachin Pilot's team is indicating its running out of patience.

A senior Rajasthan MLA close to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today "swore" that he is not involved in the protest on Sunday that saw 92 Congress MLAs threaten mass resignation.

The question Of the next Rajasthan Chief Minister has turned into a full-blown crisis for the Congress. Over 90 MLAs of the Ashok Gehlot camp are in protest mode and had a meeting with the Speaker, claiming they want to resign.

Nine Rajasthan Congress MLAs, including four ministers, are having a meeting at the home of Shanti Dhariwal - an Ashok Gehlot loyalist - ahead of the crucial party meet where the next Chief Minister will be named.

Five Sachin Pilot loyalists will be among the 30 ministers in Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's refreshed cabinet, it was revealed Saturday night. Mr Gehlot's new-look cabinet will also have 15 new faces, four of whom will be junior ministers.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi has accepted one of former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot's main demands of removing Avinash Pande, the general secretary in charge of the state. The move had been a critical for Mr Pilot ending a weeks-long revolt that pushed the state government to the brink.

As the Rajasthan Congress struggled to reconcile with Sachin Pilot's return after a month-long rebellion, a former minister and rebel MLA who had compared the revolt to a test match declared a "draw" and said it was "back to pavilion" for his group.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, believed to be upset over his adversary Sachin Pilot reconciling with the Congress and making a comeback after a meeting with Rahul Gandhi, evaded any responsetodaywhen asked how he would go back to working with someone he had called "nikamma" (useless).

Congress's Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and senior leaders Ahmed Patel and KC Venugopal will be on the promised three-member panel to look into rebel leader Sachin Pilot's complaints. The panel was one of the key terms of homecoming for him and his 18 loyalist MLAs.

Women Congress MLAs loyal to Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in his battle with rebel leader Sachin Pilot were seen celebrating Kajari Teej, applying henna on their hands, at a hotel in Jaisalmer on Thursday. Almost none of women sitting around a circular wooden table are seen wearing face masks as a precaution for COVID-19.

Asserting that neither former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot nor the MLAs supporting him have spoken against the top Congress leadership or the party, three legislators backing Mr Pilot on Tuesday said their fight is about "self-respect", and against the "dictatorial" working style of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.

Hinting that the Congress could soften its stance towards Rajasthan's dissident MLAs, All India Congress Committee spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the key was dialogue, for which Team Sachin Pilot would have to give up the security of the Haryana Police in Manesar, and the hospitality and friendship of the BJP.
