Congress will form government again in Rajasthan: Sachin Pilot
Jaipur (PTI): Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Saturday said that party leaders are working together in Rajasthan and it will form government again in the state.
Pilot, who reviewed the preparations for party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's public meeting in Niwai in Tonk district on Sunday, said the BJP tries to divert people's attention in the name of religion, but the Congress is fully prepared.
"Rahul Gandhi had recently held a meeting in Rajasthan. Priyanka Gandhi is coming tomorrow and other leaders will also come, we are working together and will form government again (in the state)," he told reporters in Niwai.
Attacking the BJP government at the Centre, he said, "The public will assess the BJP's work on the ground in nine years. What is the condition of inflation? What is the condition of unemployment? The farmers are worried, the youth are worried about their future... elections are fought on all these issues."
While assembly polls are due in Rajasthan later this year, the Lok Sabha elections will be held next year.
Congress' Rajasthan in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and the party's state president, Govind Singh Dotasara, also visited the site earlier and took stock of the preparations.

7 held for running fake call centre in South Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): Seven people were arrested from the Parnashree area in the southern part of the city for allegedly running a fake call centre, a police officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house on Netaji Subhas Road on Friday night and found the fake call centre operating from the ground floor, he said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had set up a bogus company using forged documents and posed as employees of an antivirus firm to call citizens in the US, the officer said.
"The callers would gain the trust of victims and then use remote access to take control of their phones or other digital devices. The accused allegedly siphoned off large sums of money, running into millions of dollars, from victims' accounts," he said.
Five laptops, two WiFi routers, six mobile phones and four headsets were seized from the accused, he said, adding that the seven are being questioned to ascertain the full extent of the racket and to identify others involved.
