Gehlot should explain his contradiction: Pilot

Speaking at a press conference, Rajasthan's former deputy chief minister said, "Gehlot alleges that BJP tried to topple his government. Then he says a BJP leader helped save his government.

Pilot further stated that he has tolerated several verbal "abuses" from Gehlot over the past two-and-a-half years. "Despite such abuses, I didn't say anything as I didn't want to damage the party. I was accused of being a traitor." Pilot also announced a Jan Sangharsh Yatra from Ajmer to Jaipur, saying, "The yatra is not against anyone but is against corruption."
