Rajasthan Congress leader Sachin Pilot will hold a public meeting near Kamla Nehru Nagar along the Ajmer highway on Monday to mark the culmination of his five-day yatra.
Pilot's 125-kilometre Ajmer-Jaipur 'Jan Sangharsh Yatra' began last Thursday. On Sunday, the former Deputy Chief Minister covered a distance of around 25 km from Mehla town in Jaipur district to Mahapura, where he stayed at night.
The yatra comes as a direct challenge to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in the wake of upcoming elections. Pilot's yatra has worsened the factional feud, which came to the fore after Gehlot accused the Congress MLAs involved in the 2020 revolt of taking money from the BJP.
On Sunday, Pilot said the public has accepted the issues on which he started his yatra -- corruption and government recruitment exam paper leaks.
Addressing his supporters from the top of a bus in Mahapura on the Ajmer highway, Pilot said the yatra will reach its destination in Jaipur Monday. "The public has accepted the issues on which the yatra was started -- paper leaks and corruption -- for the future of the youth and clean politics," he said.
"This is not about a person...the public is standing by the issues with which we started," Pilot added.
He saluted the enthusiasm of his supporters and invited people to his public rally to be organised on the fifth and last day of his yatra near Kamla Nehru Nagar on Ajmer highway in Jaipur.
"The yatra is getting overwhelming responses from people. Be it the youth or the elderly, all are attending the padayatra," an aide of Pilot said.
He also used the Karnataka election results to highlight his fight against corruption, stating that people in Karnataka trusted in Congress's manifesto and voted out the "40% government."
He added that he has been demanding action against the corruption of the previous government in poll-bound Rajasthan. "But "for some reason", action has not been taken in the last four years," Sachin Pilot said.
