New Delhi: Amid the ongoing tussle in Rajasthan Congress, Sachin Pilot seems to be at the losing end. If sources are to be believed, Pilot might face disappointment yet again as the party is not ready to accept his demand in the current scenario. Ahead of the cabinet reshuffle in Rajasthan, while Pilot was demanding 5-6 ministerial posts for his loyalist MLAs, the party has offered him 3 posts in the cabinet. He is also being assured that his MLAs will get a proper representation in the corporation/board. The party is arguing that there are 6 BSP MLAs and a dozen independent MLAs, who have to be allocated ministerial berths.
Meanwhile, the 6 BSP MLAs have already gone public alleging injustice to them amid the ongoing political turmoil in the state. Those MLAs allege that the Sachin Pilot camp is building pressure on the party high command to get ministerial posts despite having to go against the party. They have also said that although they stood with the Ashok Gehlot government in a time of crisis, "injustice" is being done to them. The Sachin Pilot camp has been consistently demanding the party to fulfill its promises which were being made to them last year on the condition of ending their rebellion against the state government. They have also questioned that not even a single meeting of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) formed to resolve this feud, was held in the last one year.
