Jaipur, 6/6: A compromise enforced by the Congress leadership a week ago in their Rajasthan unit appeared to be fragile as dissident leader Sachin Pilot is likely to walk out and announce a new party ‘Pragatisheel Congress’ on June 11, the death anniversary of his late father Rajesh Pilot.
Sources said Pilot is being helped with the groundwork for the formation of the new party by Prashant Kishor’s IPAC, a political consultancy firm. There is also talk about Pilot aligning with Hanuman Beniwal’s Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) and AAP in a third front in Rajasthan.
It is to be seen how many MLAs will walk out from Congress if Pilot takes the plunge and whether it would have an impact on Congress government in the state.
