Rebellions in the Congress

The Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government in Rajasthan has not had a tranquil moment in the past four and a half years. But top state Congress leader and former state deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot's latest tirade against the Gehlot regime has both angered and confused the supporters of the chief minister.

On April 11, Pilot sat under a large banner with Mahatma Gandhi's picture, on a hunger strike. The banner said he was protesting against corruption in the previous Vasundhara Raje regime and the implied inaction of the government (led by his own party) against the scams.

While his supporters asked in full-throated roars that Pilot be made chief minister, no MLA loyal to him could be spotted.

He also demanded that a probe be launched against the former Indian Premier League commissioner, Lalit Modi, who has been accused of financial irregularities, including money laundering and tax evasion.
