Exuding confidence that the Congress will form the government at the Centre in 2019, Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party is under pressure as its allies are deserting the coalition.

He said that the BJP’s allies are quitting the National Democratic Alliance due to the arrogance of saffron party leaders and it was now under pressure which recently reflected in the seat-sharing in Bihar.

Pilot said, “Upendra Kushwaha has quit the NDA, the TDP (Telugu Desam Party) has already left and the Shiv Sena is also not with them. Now the BJP is under pressure and therefore they gave 17 seats in Bihar to the Janata Dal (United) which has only two MPs. What can be a fine example of insecurity than this.”

He said the BJP leaders used to point fingers towards the Congress by saying that the party was struggling for its survival but results of the recently held assembly polls in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have sent out a strong message.

Pilot said the BJP should accept the fact that it has faced a severe blow in three states and should take responsibility of the defeat.
