After the resignation of Ajay Maken, factionalism is visible in Rajasthan Congress. Sachin Pilot along with CM Ashok Gehlot and State President Govind Singh Dotasara did not appear in the nomination meeting of Congress candidate Anil Sharma. This is the first time when Sachin Pilot was not with him. The era of political discussions has begun.
Even after the letter of resignation, the Congress has made Ajay Maken a star campaigner in the Sardarshahar by-election. While the three leaders with notices have been kept out.
Gehlot, Sachin Pilot have been going together to show solidarity in the by-election meetings. These are signs of aggravation. CM Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot have not shared the stage for a long time. Chin Pilot's not being with Ashok Gehlot in Sardarshahar's nomination meeting is believed to be the reason for the tussle.
