TopicSachin Pilot

Topic: Sachin Pilot

Sachin Pilot is a Congress MLA from Rajasthan’s Tonk and the son of Rajesh Pilot who was also a Congress leader. He has been a two-time MP, a union cabinet minister, an MLA, the president of the Rajasthan Congress, and the deputy chief minister of Rajasthan. Sachin Pilot was the youngest politician to ever become MP when he represented Dausa in the Lok Sabha at the age of 26. He is also the first Union minister to be commissioned in the territorial army.

Sachin Pilot is credited with the massive turnaround of the Congress in Rajasthan in the 2018 polls, when the party won 100 of the 195 seats it contested. This, after a poor show in 2013, when it won just 21 seats. He was, however, not chosen as the party’s CM candidate, who picked veteran leader Ashok Gehlot instead. Sachin Pilot’s critical stance against his own party government in 2020 and tussle with Gehlot has since been a major talking point in political circles.
