sachin pilot
While the Assembly by-elections in seven seats in Rajasthan are being termed as a litmus test for the Bhajan Lal government, the election is also seen as a test for veteran Congress leader Sachin Pilot Very important. It is said that only the results of these seven seats will determine when Sachin Pilot can return to desert politics.
Sachin Pilot has been active in central politics since the 2023 assembly elections. Despite the reluctance, this is true.
Transferred to Delhi after internal struggle
After the defeat in the 2023 assembly elections, the Congress transferred Sachin Pilot to Delhi to resolve the internal strife in Rajasthan. Pilot has been appointed in-charge of Chhattisgarh in Mallikarjun Kharge’s new team.
Since then, Pilot has been involved in Delhi politics but is said to have had his sights only on Rajasthan politics. His effort is to return to the playing field in Rajasthan as soon as possible so that he can show his talents in the 2028 assembly elections.
By-election of 7 seats, 3 of which are pilot seats
By-elections to 7 seats are being held in Rajasthan. Among them, Dausa, Deoli-Uniara and Jhunjhunu seats are considered to be Pilot’s strongholds. Pilot’s close aides Murari Lal Meena from Dausa, Harish Meena from Deoli and Brijendra Ola from Jhunjhunu won the elections but all three will become MPs in 2024.
Only supporters of the pilot receive tickets for these seats. Deoli-Uniara is the pilot seat next to Tonk. Likewise, Pilot was previously the MP from Dausa. Jhunjhunu seat is the stronghold of the Aura family, and they are all accompanying pilots.
The results of these three seats will determine whether the pilot can still firmly hold a stronghold?
Congress’s strength in Rajasthan will be determined by
Besides Dausa, Deoli and Junjunu, by-elections are also being held in Ramgarh, Saranpur, Cholasi and Hinfsar. The Congress party controls Ramgarh. BJP wins in Saranpur. Father won at Chaurasi and Hanuman Beniwal won at Khinvsar.
This time, the state assembly took the lead in allocating tickets for these seats. In Khinvsar, Congress has offered a ticket to Ratan Chaudhary while he is trying to get a ticket from the BJP. Sarampur and Cholasi are also in power of the state Congress. In Ramgarh, the son of late Zubair Khan emerged as a candidate.
If these seats fare poorly in by-elections, the state assembly could face humiliation. In the 2024 elections, the Congress alliance won 11 of the 25 seats in Rajasthan.
Sources said the leadership of the state assembly may come under political pressure if Congress gets fewer seats than expected in the by-elections.
Dotasara has one year left in his term.
During the 2020 insurgency, command of the Congress party in Rajasthan was handed over to Jat leader Govind Singh Dotasara. With Dotasara as president, the Congress party will perform well in the 2023 and 2024 elections. Judge also publicly supports Congress.
Dotasara’s four-year term has ended. According to the Udaipur Declaration, Dotasara can only serve as state president for a maximum term of 5 years. In this case, there is news that the search for a new president will begin as soon as the new president’s five-year term ends.
It is said that Sachin Pilot will be given command of Rajasthan by then. Because no matter who is elected president in 2025. The party will contest the 2028 elections under his leadership.
