Party workers should at least get respect if not plum posts: Sachin Pilot

JAIPUR: Breaking a long silence on issues ranging from local to national, former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister and Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Wednesday spoke on diverse issues like the present political crisis in Rajasthan and Punjab and also demanded a free probe on the phone tapping issue. Pilot also criticised the government's claim in Parliament that no one died due to lack of oxygen in the country.

Addressing a press conference, Sachin Pilot said, "Those workers who sacrificed each and everything for the party, worked round the clock and were lathicharged, should at least get due respect if not any plum post. This is what our present president says and we also speak the same. In fact, everyone speaks the same," he said, adding that "In coming Assembly polls, we shall garner more votes. We have voiced our opinion in front of high command. AICC listened to our suggestions, formed a committee, and this committee called meetings too. All decisions shall be taken soon," he said. AICC is taking all steps to bring a balance between governments and the organisation, he said, speaking on the crisis in the Punjab and Rajasthan Congress units. (IANS)
