Raghu Sharma supports Pilot for raising questions

Jaipur: Congress MLA Raghu Sharma on Monday backed the demand of former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot that alleged cases of corruption under the former CM Vasundhara Raje led govt in Rajasthan should be probed. Sharma said Pilot is a senior leader of the party and the 2018 assembly elections in the state were fought and won under his leadership as the PCC chief. "The allegations of corruption were levelled against the then BJP govt. It was a big issue in elections. We had made charges against the BJP, so prima facie that should be discussed," the former minister told reporters outside new PCC office.

Pilot had recently held a day-long fast in Jaipur seeking probe into alleged corruption cases of the former BJP govt. He said the Congress had made the corruption in the then Raje govt an election issue and promised probe on coming to power but more than four years have passed but the Ashok Gehlot led govt has failed to initiate a probe into allegations.
