Former deputy chief minister of Rajasthan Sachin Pilot on Thursday began his ‘Jan Sangharsh Padyatra’ from Ajmer. The yatra is part of his campaign against corruption under former state chief minister Vasundhara Raje and question paper leaks under the incumbent Gehlot government.
Pilot, along with hundreds of his supporters and former Congress minister Rajendra Choudhary, is going to cover 125 kilometre-long on foot from Ajmer to Jaipur in five days. This morning, Pilot, who left for Ajmer by a train, was given a warm welcome by the supporters at the Ajmer railway station where he walked up to Ashok Udhyan.
Addressing a small public meeting in Ajmer, he said, “In the previous BJP government, we challenged Vasundhara Raje on the issue of corruption, after which the Congress came to power. Four and five years have passed, the Congress government has not initiated a single probe against Raje’s graft cases.”
