New Delhi: Today is all about Sachin Pilot, once more.

After he was sacked as Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister and state party president, Pilot remained unfazed – he’s holding on to the ‘truth’, whatever that is.

— Sachin Pilot (@SachinPilot) July 14, 2020

His colleague Sanjay Jha, who also has some experience of being fired in the party, is proving to be quite a loyal companion.

Another Congress Young Turk, Jitin Prasada praises Pilot and holds out hope for the future.

 

On the other hand, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera defended the party’s official stance.

Lawyer and activist Prashant Bhushan warns Pilot against BJP’s crumbs.

BJP has maintained a stoic silence, mostly, but there is this from spokesperson Sambit Patra who seems ‘fairly’ proud of his pun on Fairmont, the hotel where Gehlot camped with his MLAs.

INC Nagaland tries to bravely hold up a crumbling fort.

Meanwhile, there was another Congress-BJP drama brewing elsewhere.

Outlook magazine was caught in the crossfire. The magazine published a story claiming that Gandhi had requested the government to let her remain in her Lutyens’ bungalow in Delhi – she had been served an eviction notice. Priyanka said it was `Fake News’.

However, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri was having none of it – he accused Gandhi of pulling strings to stay in the bungalow.

Gandhi then, respectfully, set things straight with ‘Mr Puri’.

Just when you thought the drama was over, Union Minister Smirti Irani found it prudent to dive into the controversy.

And here is TMC MP Derek O’ Brien calling out BJP President J.P. Nadda for spreading fake news.

Rajya Sabha MP Rakesh Sinha reminds everyone that we are still in the middle of a pandemic.

And finally, Brookings fellow Constantino Xavier takes a swipe at Nepal PM K.P. Sharma Oli, who had claimed that Hindu God Ram was actually Nepali.
