New Delhi, April 11

With Sachin Pilot firm on holding a fast to press his party-led government in Rajasthan for action against graft, the Congress has issued a stern warning to him and said any such action on his part would amount to anti-party activity.

The Gehlot government has denied Pilot’s allegations of inaction, leading to a public spectacle of the ruling Congress just months away from the assembly election.

“Sachin Pilot’s day-long fast on Tuesday is against the party interests and is anti-party activity. If there is any issue with his own government, it can be discussed in the party forums instead of in the media and public,” the Congress’s Rajasthan in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said in a statement on Monday, in what is being seen as a final effort to de-escalate the friction between Pilot, who has been eyeing the Chief Minister’s post for a long time, and Gehlot, the current Chief Minister.
