Recently, Rajasthan Congress Chief Sachin Pilot while talking on a show was asked as to what are the biggest achievements of Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje, to which he replied, “What she did is to show Amit Shah his place. Nobody in the BJP has been able to do that. She actually stood her ground and for 75 days, that cold war went on”.

Earlier in in July this year, reports emerged that Vasundhara Raje had her way on the choice of a BJP chief in Rajasthan to replace Ashok Parnami, who was asked to quit after the party’s poor performance in by-polls. While Amit Shah, the BJP president was trying hard to bring in his choice, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, a first-time MP, but failed eventually.

Mr. Pilot further added, “She actually said I don’t want the man that he wants. If you ask BJP people, no other person in the whole nation has done that”.

The 41-year-old Congress leader was the guest at NDTV Townhall Show where he also took questions from twitter users.

The Congress chief was asked “two good things” about his rival, in the spirit of his party chief Rahul Gandhi’s pronouncement that he would practice the politics of love.

On the second good thing about Chief Minister, Mr Pilot said that she had contributed largely in her own party by being MLA, minister and being at the forefront in the BJP.

“She’s a woman who we all respect as an individual,” said Pilot. However, disapproving her term as CM of state he said, “But her term in office, her governance, arrogance, her sense of cutting off people is what I do not like.”

For over three decades, the state has not given a second consecutive chance to an incumbent party. This time, the opinion polls survey suggests the same by indicating that the Congress might comfortably win more than 120 of the state’s 200 seats. Mr Pilot said Vasundhara Raje had come in with a huge mandate in 2013, but she has “squandered” it.

He also said, “Vasundhara-ji made 611 promises. How many of them have been implemented”.

Rajasthan will vote on December 7 for a new assembly and the results will be declared on December 11.
