Is everything fine between you and Gehlot? Sachin Pilot says…

In an exclusive interview with India Today TV, Congress leader Sachin Pilot said that he does not want to focus on what happened in the past, hinting at his strained relations with Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.

When asked if everything was fine between him and Gehlot as the latter used words like “nikkamma” (useless), Pilot said, “I have said that I always avoid using such language. The language was not appropriate. Dignity should be maintained in public communication. We should be very careful about what we say. I do not want to focus on what happened between us in the past. It is our aim and responsibility to work together for the party and we will work together.”
