LIVE! Sachin Pilot reacts to changed seat in assembly

August 14, 2020 15:17

Congress MLA Sachin Pilot finds he has been allotted a different seat in the assembly. Pilot who returned to the fold and met the Rajasthan CM at the CLP meet at his residence yesterday, stood before the assembly today and said, "I was safe on the seat I used to sit on earlier. Then I thought why have I been allotted a different seat. I saw that this is the border -- ruling party on one side, opposition on other. Who is sent to border? The strongest warrior.

"Be it me or any friend of mine, we consulted the 'doctor' and all 125 of us are standing in the House today after 'treatment'... There may be bombardment at this border but we will be the armour and keep it everything safe."

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said it would be "a victory of truth" during the assembly session that began today. The Congress government has said Gehlot will seek a vote of confidence after the opposition BJP said it will move a motion of no confidence against it. The session comes after a month-long political crisis in the state which started with the rebellion by Sachin Pilot and 18 other Congress MLAs.
