Sachin Pilot says ‘India may witness 2004 scenario after Lok Sabha election’
Sachin Pilot.
Senior Congress leader and Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot, while comparing the prevailing political environment to the 2004 scenario when Congress rode back to power after eight years out of office, claimed that his party can come back to power again after this year’s Lok Sabha election.
Pilot claimed that Indian politics is unpredictable as nobody knew that the late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee would lose by just one vote, and said, “Most certainly, the Congress can ride back to power as it did in 2004 after being out of power for eight years”, and added, “There is no way that the BJP will be able to hold on to some 100 seats in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh because the performance of their state and central governments is far from satisfactory”, at “The Huddle” thought conclave held by ‘The Hindu’.
Pilot, on Priyanka Gandhi’s entry into politics, said, “She is just the general secretary of the Congress, not a chief minister or a governor. Why is it causing so much heartburn for the BJP? The political uncertainty it has caused is telling me that they have a reason to fear.”
