Sachin Pilot has been sacked as Rajasthan's deputy chief minister, president of state Congress (File)
Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Thursday described the power tussle going on between Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and rebel Congress leader Sachin Pilot as a fight between "autopilot" and a "fighter pilot".
Taking a swipe at Ashok Gehlot, the BJP leader said all his statements proves the "Gandhi family's proprietorship" over the Congress.
"The political war between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot is a clash between an autopilot and fighter pilot," Mr Shekhawat said in a statement.
On Tuesday, Mr Shekhawat had taken a dig at Ashok Gehlot, saying the Rajasthan government was on autopilot as the chief minister was "busy chasing a pilot".
On Wednesday, Sahin Pilot was sacked as Rajasthan's deputy chief minister and president of the state unit of the Congress.
Attacking the Congress, Mr Shekhawat said the party had killed internal democracy decades ago. He said the Congress levelled baseless allegations against others all the time.
