Sad to see Sachin Pilot sidelined by Ashok Gehlot, tweets Jyotiraditya Scindia

Sad to see Sachin Pilot sidelined by Ashok Gehlot, tweets Jyotiraditya Scindia

New Delhi, Jul 12 (UNI) Jyotiraditya Scindia, who joined the BJP after leaving the Congress-- his party for 17-long years -- said on Sunday that it was sad to see his erstwhile colleague Sachin Pilot too being sidelined in the party.
"Sad to see my erstwhile colleague Sachin Pilot too, being sidelined and persecuted by Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. Shows that talent and capability find little credence in the Congress," Mr Scindia tweeted.
Mr Scindia joined the BJP in March after resigning from the Congress and 21 MLAs followed suit and tendered their resignation, forcing the 15-month-old Kamal Nath-led Madhya Pradesh government to collapse.
The Congress government in Rajasthan appeared to be in a crisis with party leader and Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot reaching Delhi to meet the Congress top leadership over the summons for questioning by the Special Operations Group over allegations of destabilising the state government, sources said.
They said that Mr Pilot has expressed resentment over summons for questioning by the Special Operations Group over allegations of destabilising the government and has reached Delhi with some of his loyalist MLAs to raise the matter with the Congress high command.
The Special Operations Group sent a letter to Sachin Pilot asking him to appear for questioning in an investigation into the horse-trading ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections. He was summoned by the SOG on Friday over the complaint filed ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections by Rajasthan Chief Whip Mahesh Joshi.
Sources said that the supporters of Mr Pilot are angry over the summons to the Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister.
MLAs from the Pilot camp allege that they are being deliberately targeted, hence a notice has been given by SOG.
