CM is able to maintain the required number to run his government still, but the
congress losses one of the best young leader. Who has the ability to become the

Following the footprints of his father and grandfather,

Qualities to become a good candidate for CM:
1. Accountable to the people- A CM will be always accountable
for the their work by giving proper justification to the people
2. Educated- In our Indian politics we all know there are so many
leaders who are uneducated. Like think nowadays we have education requirement
for every responsible job and there is no minimum requirement of the education
for the man/women who will going to run our country.
3. Ability
to connect with constituents- I remember once I saw a video of Sadhguru in that
he said a good CM have the ability to connect with people emotionally. INDIA is
such a diverse country we cannot just make and pass the laws without knowing
the fact that how it will affect the people of our country. CM need to
emotionally connect with the people and understand what they need and the law
will work.
4. Clarity
of vision- The chief minister who knows their vision and can successfully
articulate it to the voting public is one who will be held in high regard.
5. Keen
to understand the domestic issues- In India most of the population is below
poverty line or lower middle class. These people have different aspiration to
the life rather than people living Porsche society. So the CM have to
understand the basic fundamental issues like- education, health, food, or
shelter etc.
6. CM
must have the quality of Credibility- if we see the current picture PM Modi
have this quality very well. People have faith in it. People believe what he
says. But the important thing is to maintain them by fulfilling the given
promises.
7. Good
communication skills- A CM should communicate well. The chief minister must be
able to sit with the heads of other nation and also articulate the vision and
also reflect the interest of the nation.
8. Having
intense enthusiasm and passion- when you are enthusiastic about your work then
you will do it your full power and attention without any error. If you are
passionate to change the picture of the country by self then you will not
tolerate any kind of corruption and cheating in your work. So if you are
enthusiastic and passionate about what you do, nothing and no one can stop you
from moving forward.
9. Powerful
public speaker- public speaking is important because communication is the
backbone of our society. And as a leader, the ability to speak with charisma
allows you to win over the crowd, to motivate and influence people, and also to
demonstrate your skill as a leader.
The former deputy CM Sachin Pilot has all these qualities. He is
accountable to the people, answering every question asked by the people why he
did so what he will do in future. He really care about the faith that people
have in him. He was very disappointed by the CM Gehlot as he misinterpreted by
him in his ministry PWD, rural development and
panchayati raj ministries.
He has
a clear vision and enthusiasm for the people in their constituency and want a
clear development of their people. His work in 2018 election showed the amount
of passion in it. He is a well public speaker having good communication skills
he always did what he said. In his rallies we can see the connection between
him and the people.
As his
farther was great leader it gives him a great benefit in getting the domestic
problem that people of Rajasthan faces. He is new generation leader who believe
that if you want to deveop this nation than you need to solve the local problem
that people will faces in their daily lifestyle.
How and when the problem started in the congress:
A series of incidents over the past one and a half years
where Sachin Pilot’s powers and achievements were rarely acknowledged or
curtailed(reduce in extent and quantity) by chief minister Ashok Gehlot seems
to have triggered the deputy chief minister’s latest move.
In June, as elections were being held to the
Rajya Sabha, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot gathered Congress MLAs at a resort for
several days,to stop the citing attempts
by the BJP to poach lawmakers. Even at the time, there were murmurs that there
had not actually been any concerted effort by the BJP to topple Gehlot’s
government, unlike the situation in Madhya Pradesh earlier this year or
Karnataka. Instead, some said, he was merely trying to shore up his support
within the Rajasthan Congress. BJP doesn’t have good numbers to make a way
towards the cabinet.
At
the time, news emerged that the Rajasthan Police’s Special Operations Group
was investigating the alleged attempts
to destabilise the government.
The
police eventually sent a notice to Sachin Pilot requesting an appointment to
question him in connection with the arrest of two people for allegedly
attempting to topple the government. The First Information Report in that case
has references to the deputy chief
minister’s involvement in the alleged conspiracy. This is the
biggest claim by the Gehlot’s government on Sachin pilot.
The most recent incident of Pilot being sidelined was during
the state government’s battle with the Covid-19 crisis. Pilot was not part of
the core team constituted by the state government to handle it. Unlike other
states, where the deputy CMs also joined the CM in holding meetings, Gehlot
preferred to hold it himself, despite Pilot working hard to increase MNREGA
work days and taking the sanitisation drive to the rural areas.
“It would have been better if the works under myministries were also showcased as part of the one-year celebrations of thegovernment,” Pilot had said at that time. With this major blow, Gehlot had sent
out a clear message to the bureaucracy on who the boss was. Ministers,
including Pilot, were not allowed to publish any advertisements in the
newspaper without approval from the CMO which further limited his reach.
Solution and Sachin Standoff:

As we all can see
the bureaucracy played the Gehlot’s supporter to sidelined
Sachin Pilot and his work. After suffering a lot he refused to work under the
CM Gehlot. He and his few loyal supporter take their support from the congress party.
Sachin Pilotaccording to the Hindustan times has 3 demand:
1. The
first being that Congress should declare a year before the next state polls, to
be held in 2022, that Pilot would be the chief ministerial face.
2. The second demand was that all
those who had rebelled with Pilot, for instance tourism minister Vishwendra
Singh and all other legislators would be accommodated. This didn’t mean that
they would all be ministers, but “they should all be rewarded. For instance made
heads of corporations or any other bodies”.
3. The third and final demand put
across to the Congress’s mediators was that Avinash Pande, general secretary
and Rajasthan Congress in-charge, should also be removed from his post. Pilot
believes that Pandey tilts towards chief minister Ashok Gehlot and so felt that
the situation could only be normalized if another person was brought in his
place.
