In a statement on Monday (April 10) night, Rajasthan Congress leader Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said, “Shri. Sachin Pilot’s day-long fast tomorrow is against the party interests and is anti-party activity.”
“If there is any issue with his own government, it can be discussed in the party forums instead of in the media and public. I have been an AICC in-charge for the last 5 months and Pilot-ji has never discussed this issue with me,” he emphasised.

I am in touch with him and I still appeal for calm dialogue since he is an indisputable asset to the Congress party,” Randhawa further appealed.
Earlier, Sachin Pilot had accused the Ashok Gehlot government of not taking any action against Vasundhara Raje over corruption cases. He said that only a few months are left for the assembly elections, and therefore the Congress party needed to approach the voters with evidence of actions taken against corruption.
