Sachin Pilot also said the timing of Ghulam Nabi Azad's letter was "very unfortunate", when the party is preparing to take on the "misgovernance" of the BJP government
A day after Ghulam Nabi Azad pinned the blame for the party's 2014 Lok Sabha poll debacle largely on Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader Sachin Pilot dubbed it on Saturday as "targeted personal vilification" of the former party chief and said it was wrong to hold one individual responsible for the electoral loss.
Pilot also said the timing of Azad's letter was "very unfortunate", when the party is preparing to take on the "misgovernance" of the BJP government, and the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister had not fulfilled his responsibility.
"He (Azad) held various posts for over 50 years and now, when there is a need for the country and the party to raise people's issues, this was uncalled for," he said.
Asked about Azad's statement blaming Rahul Gandhi's action of tearing up a government ordinance in "full glare" of the media for the loss of the Congress in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Pilot said it was wrong to pin the blame on individuals.
