bjp: Rajasthan: Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot questions former CM Vasundhara Raje’s silence on cross-voting by BJP MLA | Jaipur News
He said the BJP is a divided house and the party should ask who inspired its own MLA to cross-vote.
Elections to the four Rajya Sabha seats were held on Friday in which the Congress won three and BJP one. Kushwaha, who cross-voted for Congress candidate Pramod Tiwari, was suspended by the party.
“We have been saying since the beginning that we have the numbers to win the three seats. Yesterday, the country saw that our candidates won. BJP’s attempts to create confusion were dashed,” Pilot said in Dausa. He said the BJP should ask its MLAs at whose instigation she ignored the party whip. However, he said, it was their internal matter.
“There is infighting among BJP leaders. There was no statement from Raje. She neither condemned nor appreciated it, but everyone understands the game being played from behind the curtains,” he said. “It became clear from yesterday’s episode how can people give assurance to such a party, which cannot play the role of active opposition responsibly,” he said.
Pilot said the party will challenge the defeat of its candidate Ajay Maken in Haryana.
