Congress chief Sachin Pilot looks more confident these days. His jibe on Raje government has become sharper. He has found spring to his feet. And the secret behind his new found enthusiasm is - performance of former chief minister Ashok Gehlot in Gujarat. Gehlot, with his political acumen and deft maneuverability has brought waning Congress back in contention against the Modi's BJP. People, who have written off the opposition 20 years back, have started talking about an outside chance of Congress. Gehlot's new found chemistry has lot to do in revival of the grand old party in Modi's fiefdom. He is being considered as the charioteer of Rahul, who is taking on the PM heads on.
The eclectic performance of Gehlot in Gujart has found an usual admirer in Rajasthan - Sachin Pilot, who is all praise for Gehlot's unexpected success. So much so that he is said to have appreciated Gehlot in front of Rahul Gandhi and said that he was ready for any sacrifice, in need be, for a comeback of Congress in Rajasthan.
Gehlot's tryst with political situation in Gujarat has given a big hope down Rajasthan that Congress can wrest the power back. And Pilot is no mood to relent. Now he wants to win at any cost. If Gehlot can seep in life in dead wood, Congress in Rajasthan can easily knock off BJP by right campaigning.
Pilot's statement has bigger impact than Gehlot's magical performance in Gujarat. Political pundits believe that the Pilot's sudden inclination towards Gehlot has some serious political connotation. It hints at Pilot's acceptability for Gehlot as the probable 'Chief Minister' candidate if it helps Congress beat BJP.
"Ashok Gehlot, who was not considered to be favourite of Rahul Gandhi, has been able to win confidence of Congress vice president. He strategised Rahul's campaigns, made him visit temples to counter BJP's Hindutva agenda and presented Congress as a strong alternative. Rahul got a rousing welcome every where he went," a political observer said.
This growing camaraderie of Rahul-Gehlot perhaps has prompted Pilot to show generosity towards his senior colleague despite knowing that Gehlot is one of the top contenders for CM post in Rajasthan, if Congress wins.
