Congress removes Sachin Pilot as Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister; appoints new state chief

Rajasthan Congress on Tuesday took disciplinary action against Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot after he failed to turn up at the Congress Legislative Party meeting in Jaipur. In an announcement by Randeep Singh Surjewala, it came out clear that Pilot, along with two other ministers were removed from their post with immediate effect. This comes after talks between senior Congress leaders, including, working President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi failed to convince Pilot come back into the fold.
