Senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot being garlanded by supporters during his 45th birthday celebrations, outside his residence in Jaipur. (PTI)When Independent MLA Babulal Nagar spoke during a public meeting in his Assembly constituency Dudu in Rajasthan on Tuesday, he had an ominous warning for the public.
“I have told you two slogans – ‘Rajiv Gandhi Amar Rahe’ and ‘Ashok Gehlot Zindabad’. Slogans of no third persons should be chanted. Police will pick you up and lock you if you do so. There will be a government case,” Nagar warned a public gathering before it was addressed by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
While Nagar did not clarify who the “third person” was, few were in doubt that he was referring to former deputy CM Sachin Pilot.
It all started on Monday in Pushkar at the ash immersion ceremony of Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla, who passed away in March. As state ministers Ashok Chandna and Shakuntala Rawat began to speak, chants hailing Pilot continued to mark the meeting. Shoes were also reportedly thrown at Chandna. Gehlot’s son Vaibhav, who was attending the event, had to make a silent exit under security protection.
Chandna has been targeting Pilot since, alleging that the crowd comprised leaders close to him. Other Gehlot loyalists have scurried to defend the veteran leader and have been making public proclamations in his support.
