Pilot says ‘he was hurt’ over Gehlot calling him ‘nikamma’ and ‘nakaara’ during turf war

  • | Wednesday | 12th August, 2020

“All want to say is that the truth has come out after the kind of allegations that were leveled,” said Pilot. 

Sachin Pilot on Tuesday indicated after the truce, towards moving on from the name calling and verbal attacks that went on during last month while he and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot were at a deadlock.

Gehlot has previously called Pilot “nikamma, and nakaara” and alleged to be conspiring with the Bharatiya Janata Paty (BJP) to topple his government.

Pilot said  there is no place for malice or personal enmity in politics and that he respects his former boss Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot

Pilot’s comments came a day after the patch-up following his revolt against Gehlot in July. He said while speaking to reporters Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi patiently heard the grievances he and other legislators had and that he was assured that a road map will be chalked out to solve them.

“I have imbibed certain values in my life from my family. No matter how much I oppose anyone, even if it were my bitter enemy, I have never used such language. Ashok Gehlot ji is elder to me and I have respected him personally but I have the right to raise my concerns over work-related and governance issues if see some discrepancy,” Pilot said.

“I was hurt but don’t want to respond to it. I think there should be dialogue, decency and a Lakshman Rekha in public discourse and I haven’t crossed that Lakshman Rekha in the 20 years of my poltical career,” he said.

“All want to say is that the truth has come out after the kind of allegations that were leveled.”
