The political future of Rajasthan’s renegade Congress leader Navin Pilot now appears quite uncertain due to the sudden death of Ahmed Patel. In fact when Pilot rebelled against Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot and tried to bring down the goverrnment. At that time, the Congress High Command convinced Pilot that his concerns would be addressed. It had even formed a three-member committee headed by Ahmed Patel. The other two members were Ajay Maken and KC Venugopal.
Now that Ahmed Patel has passed away, there is confusion in the Congress party. Even Sachin Pilot does not know who will address his concerns. With Sonia convalescing in Goa and Rahul Gandhi on a vacation, there is no one to take care of the party. Who will replace Ahmed Patel and when will the committee sit for deliberations is not known. Sources say it might be only in April next that Sachin’s concerns could be addressed Till then, it could be a long wait for Pilot.
