Congress leader Sachin Pilot to launch mass outreach campaign in Rajasthan
Jaipur/IBNS: Congress leader Sachin Pilot will be launching a mass outreach campaign in Rajasthan months ahead of the assembly elections in the state, media reports said.
Pilot, a rival of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, has planned five meetings with farmers across the state.
The rallies will be held in Nagaur, Hanumangardh, Jhunjhunu and Pali between Jan 16 and 19.
Gehlot is unlikely to attend the campaign.
Pilot, who had revolted against Gehlot, is credited for Congress' turnaround in Rajasthan and eventual victory in the 2018 assembly elections.
However, the Congress top brass led by then president Rahul Gandhi had picked Gehlot as the successor of Vasundhara Raje of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Pilot was stripped off his Deputy Chief Minister's post when he had camped outside the state in a rebellion against the top brass.
The desert state is scheduled to go to polls in late 2023.
