Sachin Pilot’s name is missing from the list of 40 star campaigners released by the Congress party for the Karnataka assembly elections. While Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has been made the star campaigner. Amidst the ongoing tussle in the Congress, the party has not made Sachin Pilot a star campaigner for the Karnataka assembly elections. So far, in every election, the Congress party has been making Sachin Pilot a star campaigner, but this is the first time that Pilot has not been made a star campaigner.
This has been attributed to Sachin Pilot’s allegations against the Congress high command and CM Ashok Gehlot in the recent press conference, then going on hunger strike even after being warned by the in-charge not to do anti-party activities and rejecting the MLA feedback program, going to field meetings and showing strength. is seen as a result of
Rajasthan CM Gehlot, Chhattisgarh CM Baghel, Himachal CM Sukhu included
In Rajasthan Congress politics, it is said that CM Ashok Gehlot’s Kata does not ask for water. The condition of Sachin Pilot is also looking like this. The dream of becoming CM remained unfulfilled, even the chair of deputy CM and PCC chief was not there. Now the party has snatched away the title of star campaigner. The Congress central leadership has named Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, National President Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupendra Baghel and others in the list of star campaigners for the May 10 Karnataka Assembly elections. Along with Himachal CM Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, a list of 40 leaders including Shashi Tharoor has been released.
This leader is also included in the list of star campaigners
Congress’s list of star campaigners also includes leaders like DK Shivakumar, former chief minister Siddaramaiah, former BJP CM Jagadish Shettar, Shashi Tharoor, former cricketer and ex-MP Mohammad Azharuddin, Imran Pratapgarhi and Kanhaiya Kumar. Raj Babbar and Divya Sapandana, who have been away from the party’s programs for a long time, have also been included in the star campaigners.
Congress party gave a message of strictness on the pilot
Sachin Pilot’s name not being in the list of star campaigners is significant because he is a very popular and young leader in the Congress. In the last several assembly elections across the country, Sachin Pilot has been the most sought after by the Congress candidates after the Gandhi family. Sachin Pilot worked hard with Priyanka Gandhi in Himachal Pradesh assembly elections, the result of which came out in the form of victory in Himachal Pradesh.
But, the internal report of many leaders including CM Ashok Gehlot, in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, General Secretary KC Venugopal, PCC Chief Dotasara has gone negative against Sachin Pilot. Sources tell that that is why Pilot has not been made the star campaigner this time. Rahul Gandhi has been describing both Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot as assets of the party. Rahul has been talking about using Gehlot’s experience and Pilot’s energy. But this time the party is in a mood to give a strong message regarding indiscipline. Sources also reveal that senior Congress leaders have also reported to the high command that Sachin Pilot may change party before the assembly elections.
