Tough task for Cong in Rajasthan over Gehlot, Pilot camps

New Delhi, Jan 6 : The Congress in Rajasthan continues to face a tough task in balancing the equation between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot, as the party is set to announce its state committee.
The Congress had appointed Govind Singh Dotasra as the state chief but the committee has not yet been announced. Dotasra had replaced Sachin Pilot, who had led a revolt against Gehlot last year.
Congress state in-charge Ajay Maken has been meeting all the stakeholders so that none of the two camps feels alienated, said sources.
In Rajasthan, the party saw a major internal crisis last year after Sachin Pilot raised a banner of revolt. However, he later came back following a truce. Trouble, however, in the state seems to be far from over.
Sources said Sachin Pilot wants his loyalists to be reinstated in the party positions as well as in the council of Ministers, particularly Ramesh Meena and Vishvendra Singh. Both were suspended and removed as state ministers when Pilot with his 18 MLAs camped in Haryana’s Manesar in an open rebellion against the Gehlot leadership.
But months after Pilot was back into the party fold, the Congress still has the hard task to put its house in order.
