Sachin Pilot's Supporters Raise Slogans Outside Congress Office As Ashok Gehlot Arrives
Amid a protracted crisis in the Congress, the supporters of Sachin Pilot gathered at the AICC office in the national capital Friday and demanded that he be elected as the party president or be made the chief minister of Rajasthan.
As soon as Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot arrived at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office, the supporters began raising slogans in favour of Mr Pilot.
"We want to see Sachin Pilot as the chief minister of Rajasthan or as the national president of Congress," said a supporter of Mr Pilot, as quoted by news agency ANI.
"Rahul Gandhi is also young; the future of India is in the hands of the youth. Till the youth is not given a top post, Congress will not get power. Pilot knows about problems at the ground level and what the party workers go through. We demand he be made the party president," he added, as quoted by news agency ANI.
