We're both assets to party: Ashok Gehlot after Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Rajasthan power tussle
The Hindu
Mr. Gehlot’s remarks were in sharp contrast to the interview he gave last week to NDTV, calling Sachin Pilot a “traitor”
A day after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called both Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former deputy Sachin Pilot assets to the party, the CM on Tuesday suggested that the matter rests there.
“When Rahul Gandhi has said that our leaders are assets then we are assets... where is the dispute then,” Mr. Gehlot said when asked about the former party president’s observation.
Mr. Gehlot’s remarks were in sharp contrast to the interview he gave last week to NDTV, calling Mr. Pilot, with whom he is caught in a tussle for power, a “traitor”.
Asked to comment, Mr. Gandhi had told reporters in Indore on Monday that both leaders were assets to the party.
“This is the beauty of our party that after our top leader says anything, there is no scope (for further argument),” Mr. Gehlot told reporters here.
Last week's jibe by Mr. Gehlot—and a sharp response from Pilot—came just days before Mr. Gandhi’s Bharat Judo Yatra is scheduled to enter Rajasthan.
