Dausa: Dissident Congress leader and former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot, who is involved in a power tussle with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot seems to have mellowed out on his demands before the state government by focusing on demand of providing justice to the youth of the state. Pilot while addressing a massive rally in Dausa district of Rajasthan on the death anniversary of his father and veteran Congress leader Rajesh Pilot, said, “Govt says assistance to people will make them bankrupt.

But I tell them that not helping out the youth who have suffered breach of trust will make them morally bankrupt” in an apparent dig at CM Ashok Gehlot over the latter's opposition to Pilot's demand of compensating the job aspirants in the aftermath of cancellation of job exams. Gehlot had recently said that those demanding compensation to the victims of the cancellation of the job exams were “mentally bankrupt”.

The demand of compensation to the job aspirants is one of the demands of Pilot for which he recently launched the Jan Sangharsh Yatra. Besides compensation for the job aspirants, Pilot has been demanding disbanding the Rajasthan Public Service Commission and probe of alleged corruption by the previous Vasundhara Raje led BJP government in Rajasthan. “I opposed the former CM (Raje) for 365 days of the year, but she being a woman and elder to me, I did not uttered a word against her,” Pilot said.
