Former Rajasthan Congress chief and deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot on Wednesday, 29 July, tweeted his Congratulations to Govind Dastara for assuming charge as the new Rajasthan Congress Committee president.
“I hope you will show complete respect, without pressure or partiality,” he wrote, in his tweet.
Amid mounting political tensions in Rajasthan, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala had, on 14 July, announced that the party has removed Pilot from the post of deputy chief minister of the state.
Pilot was also removed as Rajasthan Congress chief and Dotasra appointed in his place.
Pilot had, earlier on Wednesday, also tweeted his best wishes to Rajasthan Assembly speaker Dr CP Joshi, on his birthday.
Pilot, along with 18 rebel MLAs, has taken the Rajasthan Speaker to court for the disqualification notices that had been issued against them. The court has temporarily granted them protection from the Speaker’s actions.
