Sachin Pilot launches fresh attack on Ashok Gehlot, asks to act 'fast against corruption'
Jaipur/IBNS: In a fresh attack on Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot has announced that he will sit on a one-day fast against corruption on Tuesday.
He has demanded that the Gehlot government should act against the alleged corruption of the previous Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government led by Vasundhara Raje.
Pilot said that it was necessary to assure people that the Congress government was acting on its statements and promises made before the 2018 assembly elections.
He said that the government had failed to take action against the excise mafia, illegal mining, land encroachment and the Lalit Modi affidavit case.
Pilot played old videos of Gehlot accusing Raje of corruption and misrule asking why he had not initiated any investigation or inquiry into these matters.
He said that the Congress government had evidence against the former BJP government but had not acted on it.
"We cannot go into the elections with these promises unfulfilled. We have evidence. We should have acted. We should investigate. We are going into elections. There will be Model Code of Conduct soon. We are answerable to the people," Pilot said.
