A day after meeting BJP’s Jyotiraditya Scindia, Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister, Sachin Pilot, has said he is “not joining the BJP”. However, Sachin pilot is likely revolting against Congress and will skip the Congress meet been scheduled in Rajasthan to show party strength in Jaipur.
Sachin Pilot has yesterday claimed that he has the support of 30 MLAs, which is enough to bring down the ruling, Ashok Gehlot, party in Rajasthan. However, the Gehlot party has also claimed that they have a full majority and support of MLAs and a Madhya Pradesh-like situation will not repeat.

The Congress party says it has 109 MLAs – the half-way mark in the 200-strong assembly is 101 – and Mr. Pilot has 16 MLAs at best.
The Congrees has also accused BJP of horse-trading and offering Rs. 25-crore to each MLA to join BJP. However, BJP has been in a “wait and watch” mode over the unfolding crisis in the Congress in Rajasthan.

To be on the safer side, any further action by BJP will only happen after Congress meeting on July 13 to show off the majority in Rajasthan. The future of Congress in Rajsthan will get in the dark if Pilot is able to prove the support of 30 MLAs.
Also, Mr. Pilot’s aides do not deny a dialogue with the BJP though they say negotiations are not active.
While the Congress may continue to accuse BJP of horse-trading, but it’s evident that the internal politics in Congress is in turmoil with youth in the party tired of its old ways of doing politics and being a mere spectator after being promised support to help them lead from the front.
