On his official Twitter account, he removed the following words "Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan | President, Rajasthan Congress" and added "MLA from Tonk" to it.

Earlier, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala on Tuesday announced that Sachin Pilot has been removed as the Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan for trying to topple the Ashok Gehlot government.

Pilot was also removed from his party post as Rajasthan PCC chief.

"It is with heavy heart that it has been decided to remove Sachin Pilot as deputy CM, state chief and other responsibilities he holds in the government,"Surjewala said after the Rajasthan legislature party passed a resolution to initiate disciplinary action against the young leader.
