KPCC President DK Shivakumar confident Sachin Pilot will not leave Congress
Bengaluru: KPCC President DK Shivakumar on Monday expressed his confidence that the senior party leader from Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot who had earlier declared an open revolt against the party, will not leave the party.
Shivakumar while addressing the media at the KPCC office in the city also added that the BJP Government had failed to contain the Coronavirus situation in the state and that had led to people leaving Bengaluru and heading towards their native villages.
He added that his party will not interfere in the government’s administration, but will lend all the support if the government invites them. He also added that his party was open for discussions with the government for better handling of the pandemic beyond the party lines.
Meanwhile, Shivakumar also alleged that although his party was ready to step beyond party lines and lend support to the government in the fight against the government, BJP on the other hand was playing petty politics over the pandemic.
Speaking further about Rajasthan Deputy CM Sachin Pilot’s revolt against the party, Shivakumar said “He and his father worked for the party. We are confident that they will not leave the party. There may be a minor disagreement in the party. Our national leaders will address it. The agenda of the BJP is to topple the Congress government in various states. BJP is misleading Congress leaders and people in Rajasthan. People have given Congress a clear majority”.
