Will welcome back Sachin Pilot if Congress high command forgives him: Ashok Gehlot
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get the alleged attempt to topple his government stopped
Jaisalmer: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get the alleged attempt to topple his government stopped and said he is open to welcoming back the Congress rebels led by Sachin Pilot.
Gehlot said that if the Congress high command forgives the dissidents, he will embrace them.
“We have no quarrel with anyone. In a democracy, fights happen over ideology, policies and programmes and not for toppling a government.
"Modi should get stopped whatever is going on in Rajasthan,” the chief minister said.
He claimed that democracy is under threat in the country and the Union Home Ministry is after his government in the state.
He said he will write another letter to Modi asking him to call a video conference of all chief ministers again to review the Covid-19 situation.
He said adequate testing for coronavirus is not taking place in some states while Rajasthan has increased its testing capacity to 40,000 per day.
“We have done excellent Covid management in the state. The recovery rate is good, the death rate is less than 1 per cent,” he said.
