Congress leadership will decide who will work in government and party organization: Sachin Pilot

Congress leader Sachin Pilot, who was removed as PCC chief and deputy chief minister after an insurgency last month, said on Wednesday that it is up to the party leadership to decide who will work in the government and who will work in the party organization.

He said that a three-member panel has been formed by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) to find a solution to all the problems and it is expected that the issues will be resolved.

Pilot told reporters "I thank the Congress President for prompt action on the formation of a three-member panel. The committee will do its job and we will do what we have to say and hear and complete the work done as per the roadmap will do."

The committee was announced after a month of the political crisis last week, which began with a revolt by Pilot and 18 other Congress MLAs led by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.

Pilot, who met Rajasthan's new AICC general secretary Ajay Maken in Delhi on Monday after his appointment, said that it is the party that decides who will play what role.

He added "The work should be in coordination between the party and the government. The party president, the general secretary-in-charge, the members of the committee will deliberate. The party makes the final decision as to who will work in the government and who will work."
