Rajasthan Political crisis
In Rajasthan, a game of political check is going on between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Deputy CM Sachin Pilot. Pilot, who has revolted, claimed that 25 MLAs are with him. However, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has made 100 MLAs aware of their strength in the legislature party meeting. This is the reason why Gehlot has shown the sign of Victory. In such a situation, what political steps will Sachin Pilot take now?
However, Randeep Surjewala, sent by the central leadership to Jaipur, said that the Congress leadership has spoken to Sachin Pilot several times in the last 48 hours. He said that ideological differences sometimes arise, but it is not right to weaken our own government. If there are any differences, then the doors of the Congress high command are open to everyone, including Sachin Pilot. We will find a solution under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. It is not right to weaken the government for personal competition.
Amid the efforts being made by the Congress leaders for damage control, Rajasthan Congress state president and deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot has claimed that 25 MLAs are with him. Sachin Pilot clearly said that he will not attend the meeting in Jaipur. However, Gehlot has managed to garner the support of 100 MLAs.
Actually, Rajasthan Assembly has a total of 200 members. At present, the Congress has 107 MLAs. Apart from this, with the support of independents and MLAs of some other small parties, this number reaches 123. At the same time, BJP has 72 MLAs, besides they have the support of MLAs of 3 other smaller parties. In this case, they have a total of 75 MLAs.
At present, Sachin Pilot has claimed 25 MLAs to be with him, if this happens then only 98 MLAs are seen with Gehlot government. Apart from this, there is a vote of a speaker, which is 99 together. At the same time, there should be support of 101 MLAs for majority in Rajasthan. In the Congress Legislature Party meeting, if 100 MLAs have been successful in getting Gehlot, then the mathematics of the pilot can be messed up.
Everyone is watching the political move of Sachin Pilot. In such a situation, Pilots resign from the Congress and join the BJP or form a party of their own. If Pilot decides to break up the Congress and form a party, he may have to resign from the assembly membership, because it is necessary to have at least one third of the MLAs to form a separate party. However, 16 Congress MLAs along with Sachin Pilot claim the support of the remaining independent MLAs. This is a big challenge.

At the same time, if some Congress MLAs resign from the membership of the assembly on the lines of Madhya Pradesh and the independents also support the BJP instead of the Congress, then the Gehlot government can come in a minority. 25 MLAs supporting Pilot are being claimed. However, the Gehlot camp is also claiming the support of 102 MLAs, in such a situation the game of cheating within the Congress is becoming quite interesting. It is to be seen who falls on whom in this political battle.
