August 11, 2020: A day after state's former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot shared his concerns with former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and the party's high command announced to set up a committee to hear his grievances, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday reiterated that his government will complete its full term of five years and Congress party will win the next elections as well.
" Our government will complete its full term of five years and we will win the next elections as well," Gehlot said while speaking to media. "BJP tried its best to topple the government, but in the end, all our party MLAs are together, not even a single member has left us. None of our MLAs fell for horse-trading. This is a victory of the people of Rajasthan. Income Tax and CBI are being misused and politics is being done in the name of religion by them. They are dividing people on religion to gain votes and retain power," Gehlot said.
Meanwhile, Sachin Pilot, who met the Congress leadership on Monday, said he "harbour no wish to have a post, these things come and go. We need to work in the direction of strengthening the public's confidence and trust in us."
On being asked about Gehlot's 'nikamma' remark against him, he said, "I imbibed certain values from my family, no matter how much I oppose anyone, I've never used such language. Ashok Gehlot ji is elder to me and I respect him personally but I have the right to raise work-related concerns."
Divulging details of his meeting with Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, he informed that both the leaders had heard their grievances patiently and assured that a road map would be chalked out to solve them. A three-member committee has been formed by Congress after issues raised by me and some MLAs.
