TIL Desk/National/Jaipur/ Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot on Friday refuted claims made by BJP leader Rita Bahuguna Joshi that she had spoken to him about joining the saffron camp.
“Rita Bahuguna Joshi claimed that she had spoken to Sachin. She might have spoken to Sachin Tendulkar. She does not have the courage to speak to me,” Pilot told reporters during a protest organised by the Congress in Jaipur against fuel price hike.
Joshi told a TV channel that she had spoken to Pilot about joining the BJP. Pilot’s statement came amid reports of his discontentment with the Congress leadership.
The Congress leader had openly revolted against the leadership of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in July last year, and after a month-long political crisis, the party high command assured him of resolving the issues raised by him and formed a committee.
The Pilot camp, however, says that the issues are unresolved and nothing was done by the committee. In the protest outside a petrol pump in the Sanganer area, Pilot targeted the central government over inflation and hike in fuel prices. “Economic slowdown, inflation and unemployment have hit the country hard during the coronavirus pandemic. People have lost jobs and labourers are not getting wages,” he said.
