Ashok Gehlot wouldn't have sacked Sachin had he been respectful to Rajesh Pilot, says Amit Malviya; CM hits back

The remarks by Amit Malviya, who is also the National Executive member of the Bharatiya Janata Party come after Ashok Gehlot supported Sachin Pilot and accused Malviya of insulting Sachin Pilot's father late Rajesh Pilot.

Jaipur (Rajasthan): Amit Malviya, who is BJP's national in-charge for the Information Technology department, on Thursday took a jibe at Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot saying if he had any respect for later Congress leader Rajesh Pilot he would not have sacked his son Sachin Pilot from his Cabinet.

The remarks by Malviya, who is also the National Executive member of the Bharatiya Janata Party come after Ashok Gehlot supported Sachin Pilot and accused Malviya of insulting Rajesh Pilot.

"Come on, you are at least worried about the honor of Rajesh Pilot! But if you really had respect for him, you would not have sacked his son Sachin Pilot from Cabinet by insulting him. And don't even use words like unlimited worthless-nasty-corona-traitor publicly for them. Every time you insulted Sachin Pilot, didn't you worry about the respect of Rajesh Pilot?" Malviya wrote on X site, formerly known as Twitter.

• चलिए, आपको राजेश पायलट जी के सम्मान की चिंता तो हुई! लेकिन अगर आप सच में उनके प्रति श्रद्धा का भाव रखते तो उनके बेटे सचिन पायलट को अपने मंत्रिमंडल से बेइज्जत करके बर्खास्त नहीं करते। और सार्वजनिक रूप से उनके लिए अमर्यादित निकम्मा-नकारा-कोरोना-ग़द्दार जैसे शब्दों का भी इस्तेमाल… https://t.co/srYcVHFP3U pic.twitter.com/D5kbT8dZyq

"The names of Rajesh Pilot and Suresh Kalmadi in the 1966 airstrike by the Indian Air Force on Indira Gandhi's orders in Mizoram in prestigious newspapers like Indian Express and Times of India in 2011, in the proceedings of the then Assam Legislative Assembly, MP GG Swail and senior IAS officers were published citing Denghuana. After that, this news kept coming in the media continuously. At that time there was a Congress government at the Centre and Sachin Pilot was the minister but this news was never denied! By the way, what do you have to say about the derogatory language used by Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Rajasthan Randeep Surjewala for women and daughters?" added Malviya.

Later on Thursday, Ashok Gehlot once again slammed Amit Malviya saying that he has become a liability for the BJP. "Rajesh Pilot and I joined politics together, we were very close. Whatever nonsense Amit Malviya is speaking, it's his agenda of lying and spreading fake news. He has become a liability for BJP. Now as the public has understood that he spreads fake news on behalf of BJP," Ashok Gehlot was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Tuesday last slammed Amit Malviya for claiming that his father Rajesh Pilot dropped bombs as an air force pilot in Mizoram in March 1966, saying the facts and dates are wrong as he was commissioned into the force in October that year. Sachin Pilot had found support from Ashok Gehlot with whom he is at loggerhead. Elections in Rajasthan are scheduled to be held later this year.
