Mounting pressure on Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and the Congress’ central leadership in the run-up to the assembly polls, party leader and former deputy CM Sachin Pilot will begin his “Jan Sangharsh Yatra” from Ajmer on Thursday, covering nearly 125 km in five days on issues of corruption and paper leaks, reported PTI.
The Tonk MLA had earlier held a day-long fast, targetting the state government over alleged issues of corruption during the Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government.
He will be addressing a gathering near Ashok Udyan on Jaipur Road around noon before marching towards the state capital, and will also halt for the night at Tolamal village in Kishangarh.
The former deputy to Gehlot also said that the march was not against anyone, but over issues such as corruption and paper leaks.
Gehlot and Pilot have been at loggerheads publicly for more than two years.
In 2020, Pilot had led a rebellion in the party for a change of leadership in the state. However, Gehlot managed to survive and Pilot and some of his loyalists, were later ousted from the state cabinet.
