The Congress on Sunday said that Ashok Gehlot should not have used such words against Sachin Pilot during the interview. Bharat Jodo Yatra of Congress is going on in Madhya Pradesh these days. The yatra reached Indore on Sunday. Meanwhile, talking to reporters in Indore, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said that if needed, the party will not hesitate to take tough decisions and compromise to strengthen the organization in Rajasthan. Gehlot like this Should not have used words: Jairam Ramesh said that Gehlot is our senior and experienced leader while Pilot is an energetic, young and popular leader. Congress needs both these leaders. Asked about Gehlot’s displeasure, Ramesh told reporters that there were some differences. The Chief Minister of Rajasthan has used some words which were unexpected. I was surprised. Gehlot should not have used such words in the interview. Gehlot had called the pilot a ‘traitor’ in an interview given to a private TV channel on Thursday. He had said that Pilot is a ‘traitor’ who cannot replace him as he Had rebelled against the party and tried to topple the state government. Reacting sharply to this, former Deputy CM Pilot said that such “mud-slinging” would not benefit him. Pilot had retorted that such language was not befitting his stature to attack him and make false allegations. With these statements, the gap between the two leaders has deepened before Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Rajasthan. . Ramesh said that the organization is most important for the Congress. He said that we will find a solution to the issue of Rajasthan, which will strengthen our organization. If we have to take tough decisions for this, we will take them. If any compromise has to be done (between Gehlot’s and Pilot’s factions), that too will be done. He said that the Congress leadership is considering a proper solution to the Rajasthan issue. Ramesh said that but, I cannot fix any time frame for this solution. Only the Congress leadership will decide the time frame for this. Speaking about Bharat Jodo Yatra, Ramesh said that it will be successful in Rajasthan like other states. On December 4, the yatra will enter Rajasthan, where assembly elections are due next year. Asked about the Bharatiya Janata Party’s promise to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in its manifesto for the Gujarat assembly elections, he said the debate on the Uniform Civil Code should continue inside and outside Parliament. But BJP deliberately raises such divisive issues during elections to polarize votes. Ramesh said that the BJP has raised the issue of UCC for political gains in the Gujarat elections to be held on December 5. Insult of mandate Rajasthan Congress is doing: Dharmendra Pradhan
