PILOT VS GEHLOT ( part 2 )
13 Jan 2014 - Sachin pilot was appointed as Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee chief by Rahul Gandhi himself after massive defeat of gehlot by Bjp -which got 162 seats out of 200 in Raj
Congress was shattered
almost every big face in congress lost n +
Gehlot disappeared
For 4 consecutive years it was sachin pilot who did everything for his party He fought on streets against Vasundhara
Won by-polls in Rajasthan by a very big margin
It was the worst time for congress not only in rajasthan but in all India.
Was still missing
27 April 2017 - Gehlot enters National politics. Sonia gandhi herself made ashok gehlot general secretary for Gujarat elections.
Local congress leaders thought that it's a move to keep gehlot out of Rajasthan Politics where he faced a big embarrassment +
April 2018 - Gehlot was appointed as AICC general secretary in the “ election year ”, it was hint for pilot that gehlot will stay out of Rajasthan politics.
And after saving Karnataka govt in may 2018 gehlot's image became of a “ jadugar” in the eyes of congress and Rahul gandhi+
Pilot was sure that , if congress will win state elections he will became CM of Rajasthan.
And for this ambition he did all he could from solving inner party disputes to raising congress cadre in every district.
But then on 23 oct 2018 date of Rajasthan elections were announced.+
This is point of start of this
“ Gehlot vs Pilot saga ”
As the pcc chief from 4 years and his struggles he was expecting that he would be most influential in choosing congress candidates for upcoming elections.
But gehlot had different ambitions
Three major groups were formed +
1. Gehlot's
2. Sachin pilot's
3. Rameshwar dudi's
C.p. joshi was in the game but was not that powerful as these three were.
Lobbying started , gehlot was very agressive in getting tickets for his favourites.
His old veteran friends avinash Pandey , k.c. Venugopal got the charge +
For handling Rajasthan.
Gehlot played his cards at the right time and finally got tickets for men from his groups and those who were denied, they were made rebels by gehlot himself.
Gehlot knew if congress wins with definite majority pilot will become CM, so he showed his +
Political skills and made his men to go against the party to fight elections.
Stronge rebellions were made to fight elections against the pilot's men.
And in this fight he got support from Rameshwar dudi and C.p joshi to put pilot down. And this is not me who is saying that +
Pilot said that in front of rahul gandhi after the elections. And this is the reality every survey was showing a clear majority for congress , and all were expecting that congress will get more than 125 seats easily , bcos anti-incumbency against Vasundhara was that big
But final result were way diff than expectations
Congress got 99 seats , one seat less than majority. RLP was coalition partener of congress which got 1 seat , so that's how gov. Was formed.
The exact type of situation which gehlot wanted.
Every move was acc. To gehlot's planning
Anti dalit statement of c.p. joshi
“ Vote katuas ” against pilot contenders.
Congress workers were doing a -ve campaign against congress workers for selective seats where pro-pilot men were fighting.
Final Results :
Bjp which was said to be in not in the race got 73 seats.
Many congress candidates lost from the margin of 800-1000 votes.
Gehlot was happy because he knew that now is his chance to play his card and showing high command that he is the “ master of coalition ” +
N in such situation where bjp is poaching he is the ideal candidate for CM post
Pilot was furious by backstabbing of gehlot n gandhi and seeing all his struggle n fight going in vain
But v all how it ended
And that day was the founding stone for current #RajasthanPoliticalCrisis
Pilot settled by negotiating the pcc chief post and ministries of his choice.
And same agreement which gehlot wants to break as u can see in
“ PILOT VS GEHLOT ” ( part 1 )
From attacking gehlot just few after the elections pilot started his rebellion against gehlot.
From attacking his own govt on law and order issue , on every front pilot was criticising his own gov. In trying to ruin the image of gehlot.
Things were getting ugly day by day.
Gehlot was not just seeing this but he was planning to silence this rebellion , but because of the upcoming Loksabha elections he was quite.
He was also making remarks on pilot from stages and in press conference but not on the pilot's level +
On every ocassion he was showing his presence and power and signalling gov.
that he will not back down that easily.
But that was not end
The deadliest wound which pilot gave to gehlot was in 2019 loksabha elections where gehlot's son lost his seat from jodhpur and not only +

Everyone knew gehlot will not keep quite.
As expected gehlot started targeting close MLAs of pilot.
Think of condition of a state where a CM direct his state ACB against his own minister , and 28 bureaucrates were suspended/resigned just some days before RS polls
His next target was pilot.
Only motive for Gehlot's action was to defame pilot in the congress high command same as pilot did on the issue of gehlot's son.
