.@SachinPilot is now sacked from Cong. This crisis was actually a result of a much needed crackdown on horsetrading culture which was normalized by BJP and media. "Mota bhai hai na" no more. Only a veteran politician like @ashokgehlot51 could've done it, and INC needs him.
BJP has been practicing a "horse trading chalta hai, don't worry we have Amit Shah" culture. Pilot might have explored his options, and Gehlot has shown zero tolerance. He has taken bold legal step to give a strong message that nahi chalta hai. Today democracy is strengthened.
But even inside Cong there is a very big lobby that is arguing "so what if he did horse trading, he did it only out of anger, hurt because nobody heard his pleas." This maybe true but just because you have grudges you cannot pull down govt. That is the big message.
Another big message is, that Congress maybe weak losing State after State but it can still not be bullied and browbeaten. There are still people with much more spine in Cong than the whole of BJP, and the whole of Indian media.
Sorry about one mistake, Sachin Pilot is sacked from position of Dy CM and PCC chief, not from Congress. My apologies.
