Jaipur: The Congress-led Rajasthan government's Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot requested his party leaders to maintain discipline. His statement comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the CM and state former deputy CM Sachin Pilot raised eyebrows, PTI reported.
Pilot had earlier said that PM Modi's remarks for Ashok Gehlot should not be taken lightly. He asked his party to end the "state of indecision" over the chief minister's post in the state and urged the party to take action against those party leaders in the state who boycotted a Congress Legislature Party meeting, showing support to Gehlot in September.
During his visit to Alwar, Gehlot said, "AICC general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal has asked not to give statements. We, too, want all leaders to maintain discipline."
He said that the party and its workers should focus on retaining the government in Rajasthan. "It is our objective to repeat the government. We have given good governance and brought so many schemes into the state, which has never happened before. We have started working towards retaining the state on good governance," he added.
