59 Congress office bearers resign in Rajasthan, protest removal of Sachin Pilot as Deputy CM

At least 59 office bearers of Congress party's Tonk unit in Rajasthan have tendered their resignations. The move comes as a protest against the removal of Sachin Pilot as the Deputy Chief Minister and Rajasthan PCC chief. Earlier in the day, the Congress party stripped dissident leader Sachin Pilot of the posts of Rajasthan deputy chief minister and the party's state unit president for revolting against CM Ashok Gehlot. Two other Rajasthan ministers Vishvendra Singh and Ramesh Meena were also sacked from the state cabinet after a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party.
