Pilot has been at loggerheads with Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over the post of chief minister ever since the party formed the government there in 2018. Gehlot at a programme in Dholpur last week had said that former chief minister Vasundhara Raje and Congress leaders Kailash Meghwal and Shobharani Kushwah helped in saving his government by not supporting the conspiracy that was hatched to topple him in 2020.
Gehlot had also asked the Congress MLAs who took money at that time to return it to Union minister Amit Shah. A few days later, Pilot refuted the allegation and hit back at Gehlot saying it seemed that Vasundhara Raje and not Sonia Gandhi was his leader.
