No role in 2020 Cong rebellion, says BJP
Jaipur: Rajasthan BJP president Satish Poonia on Thursday rejected as baseless Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s allegations that his party had a role in the rebellion by a group of Congress MLAs led by Sachin Pilot in 2020. Poonia also said the BJP had nothing to do with the present crisis within the State Congress. “Gehlot has been making these allegations for the last four years and there is no basis for these allegations and BJP has nothing to do with this episode,” Poonia told the media here on Friday. “In the last 4 years, the name of Congress has been ‘traitor’. But I think that the entire Congress party is a traitor towards Rajasthan, which become a stronghold of crimes today,” he said. Meanwhile, taking a jibe at Gehlot over his ‘gaddar’ remark against Sachin Pilot, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Friday said, “thank God that he spared me this time.” Shekhawat said that the kind of infighting going on in the Congress is well known but these are Congress’ internal matters.
