Guess where Congress MP and union minister Sachin Pilot spent his Diwali eve? Not in his Ajmer constituency in Rajasthan as one would imagine, but in an obscure village in Uttar Pradesh. Villagers were felicitating him for – of all reasons- taking on Chief Minister Mayawati.
Close aides say Pilot has been spending more time at his ancestral home that falls in the Dadri area there than in Ajmer. Incidentally, Dadri also houses Badalpur, which is Mayawati’s village.
Just recently the Congress held a massive campaign against Mayawati for allegedly usurping the land of the villagers to build a palatial house. The Congress game plan is clear and perhaps it has decided that Pilot’s entry in Dadri could make a difference.
